Je désire être inscrit sur la liste des volontaires de l’Union Africaine
I don’t have the access code
It’s now becoming problematic to register. I have been trying to register for a while without success and deadline is fast approaching. Kindly see to this.
The deadline for application is due. I have been trying to apply but failed, the portal was not showing up. Now the portal is open and to register I was asked of verification code. I subscribed severally and it was confirmed to me my subscription was successful yet no confirmation code or whatsoever code it is being called. I was expecting management to address this problem b4 now, for many have raised their concerns about this code yet the situation has made no significant change. I don’t know whether leaders have given restrictions to some people including me and given priority to others, if yes why so and if No why some can’t apply and others can apply. why don’t management make the application so simple, why all these difficult and complex process. If I hurt you Mr reader, forgive me, just that my passion and desperation to serve the African continent has caused me voice out my grievance over my unabling registeration. I still call for help for my verification code to register tomorrow. thank you very much.

How do we get the access code to register?
am trying to gin in but they are not accepting my user name
I have failed to get the access code can send for my access code to this email.
I will assume that the application process is on a first come, first served basis and that is why the access code is not working. It is unfortunate potentially great applicants will miss out on a chance to the serve the AU. If only the process was clear about the limited slots because with the complaints about the access code, there are many speculations on the application process, selection, fairness, possible corruption om those privy to the blockage caused by the access code and the very complex nature of trying to be part of the AU. It is unfair and disappointing for the potential applicants who might as well seek opportunities to serve other nations where processes are clear and fair regardless of race and origin (brain drain starts with such disappointments for those really trying to build Africa-if the process is complicated in Africa but straightforward out of Africa, is it a wonder youth choose to leave?) All the best to those who managed to receive the elusive access code.
How do I get the access code?

Hello. What is the access code and how does one get it?
i have the same problem too
Please, I have completed my profile but it has been difficult for me to submit. The site keeps saying “Internal error”
I couldn’t submit my application for the AU-YVC till the closing date as the application portal kept on registering an Internal error/ system error occurred during lock management message. I have tried registering numerous queries however I have not received any feedback to date. It is very frustrating as it seems the majority of recruits couldn’t finalise the application process due to the failure of the system used.
HOW TO GET AN ACCESS CODE???
