Expert Application Advice

What this role involves
You will lead the design and implementation of policy frameworks that shape bilateral development programs across Africa, working closely with government ministries, multilateral partners, and local civil society. Day-to-day, you’ll analyze regional trends, draft strategic briefs, and coordinate cross-sectoral teams to align donor priorities with national development plans.

Key skills to highlight
Proven experience in policy analysis and advocacy within international development, especially in health, education, or governance sectors. Strong stakeholder engagement and negotiation skills, with a track record of influencing policy at national or regional levels. Familiarity with Ghana’s policy landscape and West African regional bodies (e.g., ECOWAS) is a distinct advantage.

Taf4All CV tip
List a specific policy outcome you influenced—e.g., “Led a multi-stakeholder consultation that shaped Ghana’s national youth employment strategy, adopted by the Ministry of Employment in 2023.” Use action verbs like “drafted,” “negotiated,” or “monitored” to show direct impact.

Before you apply
Verify the agency’s official careers page—legitimate bilateral agencies never charge application fees. Cross-check the posting on DevelopmentAid or the agency’s own site, and ensure the contact domain matches (e.g., @[agency].gov). If in doubt, call the local country office in Accra to confirm the vacancy.

🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
