Studies and Work Experience
Practical and Professional Experience
1. What is your drive to continue in AIESEC? Why have you decided to stand for MCVP position in AIESEC in
Ethiopia? What do you expect to take out for this experience?
I joined AIESEC in 2012 and ever since then, every year, I was faced with a different challenge and a new
opportunity to tap into. I am very passionate about the vision of the organization. The world we are in today is
faced with various challenges and I believe Leadership is the fundamental solution. AIESEC as an organization has
changed my life in more ways than one. I see this position as one where I can further develop myself in terms of
leadership, have an advanced team experience, have an influence on the organization that means so much to
me, gain practical experience in the Incoming Global Community Development Program portfolio and also live
an adventure of a life time. My contribution will be to Add that necessary impact AIESEC in Rwanda needs
thereby producing more leaders who will in turn create the necessary positive impact in any society they find
their selves in.
2. What has been your biggest achievement/non achievement in your AIESEC Experience so far? Which
experience made you learn the most since you joined and what have you concretely learned?
My Biggest achievement in my AIESEC experience so far will be my time as organizing committee
President (National Leadership and Development Seminar 2014). My non achievement will be my time as team
leader at my local committee which we achieved less than we have targeted, which from that I learned how and
when to track the progress of my team and that result to a successful national conference.
3. How do you connect what you have learned/developed so far in AIESEC with what you are willing to do in
your future? How and why does this MCVP experience connect to your personal ambition for the future?
The connection of what I’ve learned in AIESEC and my future will be the leadership and team
management I acquired, being the MCVP of AIESEC in Ethiopia gives me the chance to see and connect
to the global world which will be a significant experience for me to start my own business in the future.
4. What aspects of your personality/working style would contribute the most to the MC team of
15/16? Which are instead the aspects of yourself that could mostly challenge the team and the experience?
My personality/working style is more of have fun as much as you can but when is time for work then we put fun
aside and concentrate to the task in hand, as the saying goes “all work and no play make jack a doll boy” and I
see my work alongside my team more of a challenge, I try to do better than my team members as well as
inspiring them to do better than me, there is no harm in a positive competition.
5. What are the main challenges you expect to face during your term regarding the following areas;
a) Your Team
b) Your Work
c) Your Personal Life
6. Choose one of the 3 areas below, analyze and write down a possible solution to it. How would the role you
are applying for contribute to a sustainable solution towards it.
a) Member development in Ethiopia
b) Brand of AIESEC in Ethiopia and the global brand
c) Collaborative environment and mindset AIESEC in Ethiopia – look at the local and global level
b) Brand of AIESEC is very important not only in Ethiopia but the in the global network as a whole, I am willing to
dedicate myself to my role in other to help achieve the propose target and not only achieving the target
but also delivering the best positive impact possible which will be crucial to the brand of AIESEC in Ethiopia in the
eyes of Ethiopian government and also to the public and Ethiopian institutes, and also contribute in trying to
achieve the 3 wheels :- Global youth voice, First choice partner and Positive impact on society which will be very
important to the eyes of the public.
7. With LESS than a year left, how do you see AIESEC 2015 from the day of its inception until today? What is
needed for the organization to achieve its ambition? What is AIESEC in Ethiopia’s contribution to
this? How will the role you are applying for contribute towards AIESEC 2015 in AIESEC in Ethiopia
AIESEC 2015 tell us what AIESEC will look like in 2015, the first step of achieving our BHAG. It is through these
statements that AIESEC is able to design the activities it will deliver in 2015. The needed portion I think
it will be more commitment from the members as well as driving more exchanges in order to achieve more
quality experience, which will be the contribution of AIESEC in Ethiopia, my role as MCVP iGCDP will
contribute to the quality experience we are to deliver by tracking, evaluating and delivering the appropriate
opportunities.
My team
Challenge: I believe that I will encounter different
personalities from mine and ideological differences. As well
as different habits and characters
Solution: I am very observant and learn people’s
temperaments so I will be considerate of those around
me. I believe that it is important to set expectations in the
beginning of the term so that everyone is aware of each
other.
My work
Challenge: Finances may hinder my field of activities in the
event that the entity is struggling with financial
sustainability.
Solution: make sure my portfolio is contributing
towards the financial sustainability of the entity and being very conscious about my
financial status.
My personal life
Challenge: Being away from home might strain my
relationships in Nigeria as I will be leaving it behind for another
year and it could change beyond my greatest
imagination.
Solution: my family is very supportive, I just need to be open to change and always make time to keep in touch with my family back home.
8. What should be the direction of our next mid-term ambition? What will be your contribution
towards it?
Looking at the AIESEC 2015 which is a step of hoping to achieving BHAG with the 2015 wheels, our next mid-term
ambition should be more of creating positive and quality of experience because with the quality and positive
impact AIESEC deliver it will lead us closer to our ultimate goal “peace and fulfilment of human kind potential”,
and my contribution towards this will be my full commitment in assisting the LCs as well as the national entity in
delivering the best quality and positive impact in AIESEC in Ethiopia as well as the global network.
9. Evaluate the impact of AIESEC in Ethiopia 2014/2015 in terms of strategy and implementation in the
national, regional and global network. What should be stared, stopped and continued in the 2015/2016
term?
After assessing the strategy and implementation I see that much effort has been put to support and grow the new
and smaller LCs in terms of realizations, member development and project design, visiting the LCs on a quarterly
basis for coaching and knowledge delivery is one thing that can help us a lot and I think it should be continued,
enhancing our communication channels for more updates and tracking will give us a boost in staying on track to
our goal, one thing I will recommend is assigning weekly tasks to the LCs in order for them to learn by doing and
giving them more boost and courage for them to step up and seek for leadership roles.
10. Analyze the new Leadership Development Model (LDM) in the context of AIESEC in Ethiopia. How will the
new leadership model be embedded in the new customer flow in AIESEC in Ethiopia? What in your opinion
should be the role of the MC & LCs in this respectively?
The new Leadership model is what contributes to the development of an individual in terms of Self-awareness,
solution driven, empowering others and global citizen.
These elements are the ESSENSIAL MINIMUMS to enable life-long leadership development journey, and we
develop those element by providing the Inner and Outer journey.
AIESEC in Ethiopia provides both journeys in the aspect of ICX and OGX for better understanding of Ethiopia as a
country and the world as a whole.
I see the role of the MC is to supervise, coach and assist while the LCs running the exchange programs for them to
get better understanding and knowledge of the process.
Role Specific Questions
1. Describe your three top achievements iGCDP (Within or without AIESEC)
First I will like to mention my term as OCP of AIESEC Ghana National conference where we had some
troubles securing a location as well as fund for the conference but at the end I manage to lead my
team and deliver one of the best conference in AIESEC in Ghana.
Secondly my term as PRO of my institute’s international students association (ISA) where I have to
connect the international students, the administrative office and the Ghana immigration office in term
of legalizing their stay in Ghana.
And last but not the least I will mention my time in Sudan where I had to captain my senior high
school (Sudanese Turkish International school) football team to a gold medal in inter school
competition as well as receiving the fair play player of the competition.
2. Analyze existing AIESEC in Ethiopia projects with regards to each LC. Which national projects would
you like to focus on your possible term and why? How would you package them to attract investment from
the AIESEC entities?
LC Project
AAU EDU Power These project targets charity schools, and institutions with low access to
teachers. The target group are children from the age of 3-16. It focuses on
literacy and subject education within the various target groups.
EiABC EDU Power
Hawassa BEKind This project is about helping blind university students on their studies with
emphasis on helping them improve their communication skills; focusing on
English. The intern will also be helping in their day to day studies and guiding
the students in their research making.
Mekelle RED Life This is a project about creating awareness events to promote blood donations
and organizing a blood drive. This project would be conducted in collaboration
with a Blood Bank in the city of Mekelle and would end with a 1 week blood
drive throughout the city of Mekelle as well as the University of Mekelle.
Unity JOY Center Joy Center for Autism, is one of the partnering organizations that provides care
and support for Autistic children and young adults.
SU Commerce Clean Drop This is mainly aimed at creating awareness on health & sanitation around high
schools. By collaborating this project with education and awareness on
HIV/AIDS. Schools will highly engage in involving their students and cleaning
services for a cleaner environment. This project is run in collaboration with
various sanitation companies
With this I will like to focus on “EDUpower” As it target children within the age of 3 – 16 and as we all know children
are the future, so it is very important for them to get the appropriate knowledge not only by learning the basic
education in school but also by getting some understanding of cultural diversity and its positive from the early age,
and my plan is to provide the best reception possible for the interns alongside the LCVP responsible.
Incoming Global Community Development Program
3. Using the Ethiopian Growth Transformational plans or other directive you know, design a non-corporate
strategy for AIESEC in Ethiopia to grow GCDP realizations and increase impact within the Ethiopian
Society.
4. Analyze the standards and satisfaction elements and write down your strategies to implement them in
AIESEC in Ethiopia. Lay emphasis on accommodation for your interns.
Logistics:
- Visa and work permit: an invitation letters to be sent on time and found out visa on arrival process for
some nationals and ensure it is in the reception booklet.
- Arrival pick-up : making sure the interns have buddies once matched, organize a cultural preparation
seminar and ensure pick-ups are on time
- Departure support: know when the intern is leaving, have a lead session to evaluate whether you
delivered a leadership experience and ensure that there is someone to take them to the airport.
Job:
Make sure the JD is broken down in details and covers a period of 6 weeks. The interns should work at
least 25 hours a week, make sure an AIESECer escort them to work on their first day, set goals for the
intern to meet during their experience. Make sure all the details are on the opportunities form on EXPA
Living:
Secure accommodation for the interns before their arrival and ensure accommodation fees are broken
down and transparent and provide services promised, basic living cost should also be highlighted (meals,
transportation and night life)
Experience & learning:
This is through lead sessions and intern activities, try organizing national activities so that LCs learn to work
together.
The use of intern tracker will be the main tool to ensure standards and satisfaction in the entity. Firstly,
forms will be well looked through before opened to be viewed on OP. Project and Reception Booklet will
be approved by the quality board before is released. The tracker /quality sheet will contain information
both for the home realization (OGX) and Host completion (ICX). It will be an obligation for all LC to fill the
quality sheet and the quality control board will visit LCs periodically to check on living standards of EPs and
the TN.

Dear Sir/Madam
INVITATION TO PARTNER WITH AIESEC ETHIOPIA GLOBAL VILLAGE
AIESEC is an international non-governmental not-for-profit organization that provides young people with
leadership development and cross-cultural global internship and volunteer exchange experiences across the
globe, with a focus to empower young people so they can make a positive impact on society. The AIESEC
network includes over 100,000 members in 125 countries and territories. It is the largest youth-run
organization in the world.
The issues of cultural intolerance and racism have greatly affected nation building, homes, workplaces and the
continent as a whole. Hence it is to address these issues that the AIESEC Global village project was initiated.

people of varied race, culture and belief. The purpose for this project is to ensure that people develop
awareness of their own culture as well as other people’s culture.

Our theme is “protecting the environment is protecting ourselves”. We live in one village the earth;
therefore we share the responsibility to protect its environment for our common future. The team has
decided to look into the environmental safety culture of the Ethiopians and how best we can sensitize people
through cultural habits for a great change.

the global festival celebration, to cater for all invited guests who are taking part in various cultural
performances, we will be grateful for any suggestions or feedback in our bid to grow culturally sensitive and
global minded individuals.

8. What are your strategies in terms of bringing iGCDP sustainability for the 15/16 term? Write down the
possible synergies you see happening. How would your role in AIESEC in Ethiopia contribute towards the
growth of the East African Sub-Region?

Customer centricity: this action of putting our customer’s satisfaction in the center of our operation
is highly important for the organization to achieve our goals and also a good relationship with them
which can turn them into our promoters.
