AIESEC Ghana 12.13 Third Quarter Report 2

Who We Are Tens of thousands of students and recent

graduates, each year, in over 100 countries

manage an organisation that facilitates tens of

thousands of international exchanges so that

young people may experience and understand

cultures other than their own.

AIESEC is the global youth network impacting

the world through leadership development

experiences.

We believe that being part of this global

community, taking these management and

leadership opportunities and having the

chance to learn and define our roles in society gives us as AIESECers a bit of direction

in becoming change agents who can positively influence our world in the future.

AIESEC is the world's largest youth-run organisation present in over 113 countries and

territories with over 86,000 members. We are an independent non-governmental, not-

for-profit and non-political organisation. AIESEC Ghana is the national entity for AIESEC

in Ghana and has been operational since 1960AIESEC Ghana has been in existence

since 1960. We are currently engaging over 700 members from 15 universities across

the country, delivering quality leadership experiences and providing outstanding

internship experiences.

AIESEC Ghana 12.13 Third Quarter Report 8

From this analysis, we did not grow a lot in TMP/TLP matching and realization in this

quarter and the ratio/percentage difference between matches and realization is huge

because LCs were assigning roles that were not up to 8 weeks, so the system was not

counting it and that accounts for our large/huge number of matches but little realisation.

LCs that are increasing member efficiency drastically include UCC, KNUST and CUCG.

To the other LCs, there is a need to make sure that members are participating more in

LC activities contributing to the development of strong leadership in young people,

assigned roles on myaiesec.net and that these activities are result oriented activities.

Reward and recognition in the next quarter will be based on results and the number of

people contributing to the result and we are looking forward towards massive growth in

the next quarter.

Member Committee Elections In order to ensure the continuity of the organisation, elections are held every year for

positions in the national executive team. The position of the Member Committee

President was opened with only one application tendered for it by Oluwashayo Tinuoye,

current Member Committee Vice President AIESEC Experience. The applicant went

through the review process and was elected by the national plenary on the 12th of

January, 2013 as the Member Committee President for the 2013/2014.

Vice-President positions were opened and 15 applications were received from Ghana,

Nigeria, Italy and the United States. After passing through the review process, receiving

votes of confidence from the national plenary, the final selection was made by the

Member Committee President elect:

The position of Vice President Marketing and Communications is yet to be occupied

and applications are still opened for it. This would be determined in the next quarter.

National Leadership Development Seminar

This year’s National Leadership Development Seminar (NLDS) -one of the three annual

AIESEC Ghana conferences – was dubbed “eXcel 2013: Exploring and redefining

excellence in youth leadership” and hosted by AIESEC Legon. The conference was held

at Korkdam Hotel, Achiota, Accra from the 6th to 10th of February, 2013. The conference

had 15 facilitators who ran 28 training sessions around building strong leadership in the

119 delegates from all our local committees. The conference was chaired by an AIESEC

alumnus: Rashid Baah. The conference ended with delegates feeling inspired to take up

leadership roles. Soon after the conferences, Local Committee President positions were

opened.

Ghana also volunteered to be among the countries that would be piloting most of the

projects under Africa in Me during the summer.

For APXLDS Singapore, Babajide Okusanya, the Vice-President Information

Management & Communications was also selected by AIESEC International to

participate in this conference as a facilitator.

The regional conferences focused on enlightening members of the organisation to

ensure they understood the Clarity of Why the organisation exists and how to ensure that

all operations are aligned to this.

Global Leaders’ Summit 2013 The Global Leaders’ Summit, also known as the International Presidents’ Meeting is an

annual conference that brings together all incoming and outgoing Member Committee

Presidents from all AIESEC entities and the global executive team of AIESEC

International which represent the highest decision-making body of the organisation – the

Global Plenary. This year, the conference was held in Novi Sad, Serbia from the 19th to

27th of February and AIESEC Ghana was represented by Robert Tetteh, outgoing MCP,

and Oluwashayo Tinuoye, incoming MCP. This conference is aimed at making global

decision for the organisation and building strategies to drive the organisation’s growth

globally.

In addition to this, a legislative meeting is also held in order to make decisions about the

state and affairs of the organisation one of which includes updating the membership

status of each entity. As it stands, AIESEC Ghana has been able to retain its membership

status by fulfilling all membership criteria; also, AIESEC Burkina Faso has for the first

time gained full membership, moving them from the status of official expansion with the

support of AIESEC Ghana as the country partner.

Another core event at the conference was the President of AIESEC International (PAI)

election, where three brave candidates made presentations to the global plenary which

resulted into Rolf Schmachtenburg, current AI VP Finance and former MCP of AIESEC

Norway, being elected as President of AIESEC International for the 2013/2014 term.

Cultural Envoy for Exchange Development (CEED)

Cultural Envoy for Exchange Development participants (CEEDers) are those sent to other

AIESEC entities to assist in the development of operations in the entity. Branham

Anamon, from AIESEC Legon was selected to be OGX CEEDer for AIESEC Kenya where

he made a great impact and became the OGX coach for AIESEC Moi in Kenya

strengthening the bond between AIESEC Ghana and AIESEC Kenya. He also facilitated

AIESEC Kenya also sent a CEEDer to Ghana on the 14th of January, the CEEDer, Ronny

Mutua who was LCP of AIESEC in JKUAT also facilitated in our National conference in

February and left on the 24th of February. During his time of stay in Ghana, he worked

with The MC of AIESEC Ghana, AIESEC KNUST and AIESEC UCC. He also started the

initiative, National Quality Board of AIESEC Ghana, which is a board to check the quality

of experience members and exchange participants are living. This was a very strong

move to strengthen the country to country partnership between AIESEC in Kenya and

AIESEC in Ghana

AIESEC Burkina Faso also sent a CEEDer: Sankara Kodzo Nyamedi to work on outgoing

exchange operations with the national team. He contributed in the development of the

national outgoing exchange programme: Don’t Sit At Home (see Internship Programmes

Go! West Africa Campaign Go! West Africa Campaign is a West

Africa sub-regional initiative pioneered by

AIESEC Ghana to give young people in

Ghana the opportunity to travel and

explore West Africa as well as to drive

sub-regional growth and promote co-

delivery.

This Campaign was developed by the

national office of AIESEC Ghana but

implemented at the local level by the LCs

with strategies and support from the

Member Committee.

The goal of G.W.A.C was to send out 100

young people on GCDP to West African countries during the Christmas holidays.

This goal was however not met as only 35 people enrolled and participated in our

internships through this Campaign.

Don’t Sit At Home Don’t Sit At Home is an outgoing exchange campaign for the summer peak to deliver

250 outgoing volunteer experiences to young people in Ghana. The focus is on students

in Education, Social Sciences, Tourism, Arts and Psychology and sending them on

Cultural, Teaching and Summer camp projects in China, Russia, Turkey, India and

Mozambique. While this campaign would be implemented in our local committees,

universities would be approached in order to get students to participate in the internship

programme, create a line of communication with the university in order to possible

establish AIESEC there or create a supply of exchange participants.

AIESEC Ghana 12.13 Third Quarter Report 18

Kids of Apewosika There are 14 societal impact projects run across the different local committees to provide

interns the opportunity to be responsible for societal change and impact. This is a report

from interns that worked on the Readwide Project of AIESEC UCC:

“The Readwide project at AIESEC University of Cape Coast, Ghana, aimed to help

underprivileged children in the developing communities of Cape Coast. The projected

started out with the Apewosika community where two New Zealand volunteers brought

donated books and funds for the project and established a library in that community.

The books were used as teaching resources while the starting funds covered a year's

rent in a small, rundown room that was converted into the library. As the room required

numerous renovations for safety and appearance, it became clear that the project

required more funds. The volunteer interns, along with interns on similar projects,

founded the Cape Coast Initiative as a way of crowd funding so that the library could be

completed and more books could fill the shelves.

Thanks to generous contributors, the renovations such as installing pillars to support a

collapsing roof, filling holes in the wall with cement, and fixing broken doors were

completed. Furthermore, the funds provided for the purchase of over 300 children's

books as well as white-wash and paint used to liven up the room. A video was created

to the completed library and what the funds has achieved, as well as what the kids had

to say about it; it can be viewed here: http://bit.ly/KidsOfApewosika.

This is an ongoing project that aims at developing not just one, but many communities

in Cape Coast. This is one of the many volunteer experiences we are delivering to our

interns by AIESEC CUC, CUCG, KNUST, Legon, UCC, UCOMS and UDS.

National Projects

Project Alenu: Youth voices of Africa Following the interaction with members of the

TICAD V Student Project, in November 2012, a

project was spawned. The project is aimed at

gathering data from university students on their

views of certain issues in society. The project

was dubbed: Project Alenu: Youth Voices of

Africa. The word “Alenu” came from a Nigerian

language which literally means “we have

mouths”. This data is then to be analysed at the

TICAD V Student Youth Summit in March with

the aim of being presented at the TICAD V by

June 2012 in Japan. The summit is aimed at

making decisions on projects Japan would

undertake for the development of Africa. The

data from the survey would be compiled and

analyzed at the Youth Summit to be held in Japan in March. The focus of the summit

would be on:

Economic development

Societal impact

Peace and stability

Project “Alenu” would be focused on problems young people face in the following areas:

Education

Employment

Medical services

Information gap

The project was aimed at gathering data from 1000 youths in 21 countries across Africa

The data was collected through an online survey channelled through Facebook using

the page: www.facebook.com/ProjectAlenu.

The survey was launched on the 7th of January, 2013. Information about the project was

disseminated and became viral across the AIESEC Africa network. In spite of this, the

project resulted in on 47 data submissions from 10 countries.

These can be associated with lengthy nature of the survey; most who began filling the

survey did not finish which resulted in loss of data. Nonetheless the result was forwarded

to the TICAD V Student Project group in Japan for data analysis and processing.

The Youth Summit was held in Yokohama Japan from the 18th to the 25th of March, 2013.

The results were analysed at the conference and the report would be sent to AIESEC

Ghana for evaluation and publication.

Financial Literacy Project

The Financial Literacy Project is an initiative between Standard Chartered Bank Ghana,

ACCA Ghana and AIESEC Ghana which is aimed at educating young people on

personal financial management and finance for non-finance people. The project is

targeted at reaching 500,000 people between the ages of 18 and 25; primarily senior

high school and tertiary students. The Financial Literacy Project will be delivered using

the “ripple effect” method where trainers will be trained and they will further go on to train

others.

We are still finalizing the agreements with ACCA and Standard Chartered Bank in order

to initiate the project.

Online Engagement

Website Upgrade The new website was being developed with a Romanian company but due to

circumstances beyond their control they had to pull out of the project. A new website is

being designed by AIESEC International which can easily be adopted by all entities,

hence it is recommended for that to be used instead. The domain aiesecghana.org

should still be maintained and the old website can be operational until then.

Social Media

AIESEC Ghana is now present on Google+ to reach more people through the social

media platform from Google and is accessible through this link:
