Bonjour comment puis-je obtenir le code VMS pour pouvoir remplir le formulaire? Je voudrais votre aide s’il vous plaît?
I can’t get access code VMS. Please help me.
I am experiencing problems with applying, the link wants an account of which I do not know. I am from South Africa, please help me.
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.
