After reading the FAQs last night, I was also so discouraged to find out NYSC is more organized that AUYVC. At least NYSC guarantees you a PPA and even accomodation to some extent.

To think that all my hope was on this one. My enthusiasm took a nose dive last night and I no longer look forward to the excitement of participating in the programme.

never put all your hope on anything.

On the recommendation letter, what is the ideal optimum length? Also does it carry recipient's address?

Well, I just saw the content of the file, and I must say that IF IT'S CREDIBLE AND ANYTHING TO GO BY, then I'm really disappointed in the AUC. An answer to a question of whether or not successful applicants would be deployed at the start of the new year says that CVs of trained volunteers are matched with available vacancies within the African Union’s Organs and partner organisations. Volunteers are encouraged to continue with their normal lives until they have received official communication from the AUYVC

Well, I think that's really crappy. Why should they ever call for application when there aren't vacancies?? Why not make deployments in batches?? What do they take us youths for? Youth engagement and participation my foot! And I thought they had a different touch and approach to things, better than my beloved Nigeria, it's crystal now that they don't! They too lack organisation, desultoriness eats into their core too. I really am disappointed. They aren't ready for that socioeconomic renaissance they claim to aim to achieve with this scheme. I fear for Africa.

Guys, there are a lot of advantages to this program. Don't lose hope on it, make sure you are shortlisted for the next stage.

One of its advantages even before deployment is having all your expenses paid to fly to South Africa for pre deployment training, and visa is also facilitated by the AU.

Lots of people have never travelled out of this country and to have South Africa(the most developed country in Africa) on your first visa stamp and your sponsor being the African Union would give you room for other opportunities should you wanna travel outside the country, many people are denied visas because they are first-time travellers but with an African Union sponsored training in South Africa on your visa I'm sure very few countries would deny you visa. I know someone here on Nairaland who only attended the pre deployment training and the dude was off to Canada the next month and ditched the volunteer job, and in his visa interview it was this program which gave him an advantage in convincing the interviewer why he should be given a visa.

Also, I don't think there is any candidate who went for pre deployment training and wasn't deployed eventually, at least from the past volunteers I know of.

4. You will ALSO need to attach the following. Please merge these as one PDF document and attach that document. You might choose to use a service such as www.pdfmerge.com to do this.
*A copy of the identity page in your passport or national identity card
*Highest post-secondary certified qualification(s)
*Signed Letter of Recommendation verifying your volunteer experience(s)

But then, folks have been uploading more than one. So, I guess it's up to you.

Best of luck!

As people have said earlier, it's advisable to use a signed recommendation letter from earlier volunteer experience(s). I'm not sure about NYSC cert.

@ApostleEbuka
A signed reccomendation is a recommendation letter duly signed and stamped.
It should state your responsibilities, your achievement and competencies. It should sound convincing.
It doesnt have to be a paid job or volunteering service. AU would want to see a selfless person who has contributed one thing or the other in the community or organization

I would suggest you upload all your document in pdf format...its shows professionalism and not editable as other format could distort the configuration of your document
Hi Bolubej I have 2 yrs volunteer experience with an international in while in School and I have gotten a recommendation letter from them but the letter was only signed, it was not stamped because the branch of d organization in my School do not have a stamp. Is the letter still valid for application?

Programs like the AU/YVC give life-changing opportunities. Though, I am also an applicant this year, I have been part of equally prestigious international programs in the past i.e. YALI, AU/YALDA Agenda 2063 to mention but a few.

I write articles for a living and I have 60-70 percent success rates guiding people on applying for programs like this.

If you would like to beat the deadline and its attendant worries, I can help you with your application for a token.
I will guide you or help you write top-notch motivation letters and other essays as may be required in any of the AU/UN languages of your choice. Yes! I speak them all!

And hopefully, with prayers, we shall succeed together.

Does it show your age? The reason they asked for national ID card is to confirm age. Alternatively you can use your electoral card if you have one.

Sorry about that, bro, there's nothing you can do. Even if you could/would reapply, application is closed. Just keep 'em fingers crossed and hope for the best.
