💰 Are the ICPAC Opportunities Paid?
These are professional:

Applicants should therefore avoid quoting invented monthly salaries.
Financial terms should be confirmed through the applicable procurement and contracting process.
🏠 Are the Positions Remote?
❌ THEY ARE NOT ADVERTISED AS REMOTE.
Each vacancy has an identified duty station:
- Djibouti
- Juba
- Kampala
- Nairobi.
Applicants should therefore assume an in-country duty station unless ICPAC states otherwise during contracting.

All four opportunities are located in Africa, but three have strict nationality requirements.
For the National Early Warning and Data Officer positions:

Therefore, applicants from other African countries cannot apply for those three national positions.

does not state the same nationality restriction.
