Use the official recruitment pages for African Union, East African Community and IGAD vacancies. Read the specific advert before applying: each employer sets the qualification, experience, documents, location and deadline for its own post.
Never pay anyone for a job. The EAC says it charges no fee at any stage of recruitment.
Check official recruitment pages, not forwarded adverts. The AU jobs portal has vacancy search and a talent-community sign-up. EAC says vacancies are advertised through its E-Recruitment System and official website. IGAD publishes vacancies through its official careers page.
| Organisation | Official place to check | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| African Union | AU jobs portal | Search vacancies or join the talent community for opportunity updates. |
| East African Community | EAC employment page | Use the E-Recruitment System for advertised jobs. |
| IGAD | IGAD careers page | Open the live vacancy and follow that notice. |
On 16 November 2026, IGAD's official site listed a Focal Person for Fertilizer and Soil Health Hub post in Djibouti, closing on 4 December 2026. This is a current example, not a promise that the vacancy will remain open. Check the live notice before applying.
The EAC says applicants must be citizens of EAC Partner States, meet the post requirements and be no older than 55 at application. Qualifications must be recognised by the relevant national accreditation or regulatory body. Internships, attachments, apprenticeships and training placements do not count as relevant work experience for its minimum-experience requirement.
| Organisation | Apply this way | Documents or checks stated by the organisation |
|---|---|---|
| African Union | Create an online account, complete the AUC Personal History Form and submit before the deadline. | Check your qualifications against the position description. |
| EAC | Apply exclusively through the E-Recruitment System. | Completed EAC application form, certified academic and professional certificates, and national ID card or passport. |
| IGAD | Use the route in the live notice. | Check the individual notice for its qualifications, documents and deadline. |
IGAD's official website lists Kenya among its Member States. Its vacancy rules are set in each notice. For example, the IGAD post closing 4 December 2026 asks for a master's degree in stated or related fields, at least five years of relevant experience, English and supporting documents by email. Do not treat those requirements as applying to every IGAD role.
Do not pay an agent to obtain a job, shortlist or interview. The EAC explicitly says there is no recruitment fee. Use the advertised official system or address only.
The EAC says applicants must be citizens of EAC Partner States and meet the requirements of the particular post. Check the live vacancy and submit through the E-Recruitment System only.
The EAC says applicants must upload a completed EAC Employment Application Form, certified academic and professional certificates, and a national ID card or passport. Professional roles that require registration, licensing or certification must meet the relevant requirements.

Eligibility varies by vacancy. Kenya is listed as an IGAD Member State, but you should follow the live notice for the role's education, experience, language, documents and submission method.
