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
[ ] running an early-stage startup
[ ] a working prototype or MVP and a committed founding team
[ ] your startup is based in Africa or builds for African healthcare markets, addressing a clear healthcare challenge

2. WHAT TO GET READY
An online form; it names no documents. Some forms do not save as you go, so set aside time to do it in one sitting.
In their words: "Application on the platform linked from the UNDP page"

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)
- On the date, the listing says: Rolling; Cohort 1 closed, applications now considered for Cohort 2 (December 2026) onward

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
