Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading
The key word here is “professional”: this program does not only assess academic level, it looks for a profile already oriented toward public policy work. The strongest application is one that clearly connects work experience, a policy project, and the degree’s usefulness for the home country. The sensitive point is the fit between a strict academic requirement and a very structured scholarship, so avoid any weakness in transcripts or proof of experience. Prepare a file that demonstrates both academic strength and the concrete use of the master’s degree, then monitor the opening of the JJ/WBGSP portal.
