This checklist: https://qualifyafrica.com/o/givedirectly-legal-counsel-corporate-remote-2026
Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
The application takes real work, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] the right to work in a country where GiveDirectly can hire; in Africa that is the DR Congo (local nationals only), Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Uganda, Cameroon, Ghana, South Africa or Nigeria
[ ] qualified as a lawyer in at least one jurisdiction, with corporate, commercial and transactional experience and data privacy expertise
[ ] able to overlap with East Africa time by at least three hours

2. WHAT TO GET READY
The listing does not say what it needs. When you open their page, write down everything it asks for before you start.

3. DATES
- No closing date is stated.
- Openings with no closing date can close once they have enough people, so sooner is safer. (our advice)

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
