A long application, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK

[ ] citizen of an African country (African citizens living outside Africa also welcome); preference for applicants under 35 on 1 February 2027

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
- Closes 29 October 2026, in 7 days.
- Aim to send it by 26 October 2026. Websites slow down near a deadline, and data runs out. (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
