So 1 MA is ok? What about interview questions, if selected i.e, what did you like best, least???

Yes 1 MA is sufficient. Interview questions will be basic stuff - they just want to check that you remember what you learnt during your program and can explain those to senior civil servants. Experience will depend on your post - if you are in a macro unit or the central bank, you'll have stuff to do. Other posts you might get bored at work but living in a developing country will still be interesting.

Thanks alot. Wish we could help you to prepare for the interviews but I'm convinced you'll be fine. Please Be sure to share some of the questions you'll be asked if possible...

Just got a rejection but I think it happened for the best. No way am I going to do two masters to work in subsaharan Africa (with all due respect), and that too for two years and average/poor job prospects afterwards. Now that I think about it, I don't even know why I applied in the first place. I won't be doing that again!

Could you please expatiate on the “poor job prospects afterwards”?
Does one know how much is the pay per month inclusive of the housing allowance?
