I am adding this response to bring the thread back to the top, considering there is still plently of time for young professionals to apply. I also noticed that the deadline on the website says 20th January 2022.  Dave, would you know whether this is an extension from the 18th January mentioned within the subject of this post?

Here is the eligibility criteria i lifted off the website for a quick glance:

To be no older than 35 years on 31 December of the year of application.

To be a national of a country eligible for the Programme (See list of countries within image below)

To hold a relevant university degree obtained in your home country or other eligible country.

The vacancies of the first cohort are currently open for application until 19 January 2022, including a P2-level WASH position.
