Other vacancies are located outside Nigeria, including positions in Addis Ababa, Liberia, Conakry, and Dakar, covering administrative, finance, and programme roles.
ECOWAS stated that applicants must meet specific age requirements depending on the job category, with limits set for support staff, professional roles, and director-level positions.
The organisation also encouraged female candidates to apply, noting that only shortlisted applicants would be contacted.
Applicants are required to complete the official application form, attach a CV and a motivation letter, and submit all documents through the designated channels.
It warned that applications without the required documents would not be considered during the selection process.
The recruitment exercise will close on April 30, 2026, while ECOWAS advised applicants to beware of fraudsters, stressing that it does not charge any fees for job applications.
