Thanks for all these opportunities for Africans. Please consider my appeal to reduce some of the qualifications mainly dealing with the long years experiences needed like 5,6,7 years etc. And with particular institutions like government and international NGOs. Also many of the reguired ages are between 18 and 35 and requiring a candidate to have Master degree. In Africa we are faced with many challenges mainly war that causes us to achieve our first degrees in late thirties and forties, therefore if the requirements are not flexable will cause many potentiel Africans such as Liberians to die without realizing their Dreams.
