LETTER FROM THE EXPANSION TEAM
AIESEC IN ETHIOPIA | NATIONAL ANNUAL REPORT | 2011-2012
“It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.” We have started our term in July 2011 with this quote, completely anaware of what could have happened all along the year but strong of our believe: AIESEC would have been a successfull and impactful organization in Ethiopia. We have come from 4 different countries to establish the National Office of the world largest student run organization to offer new opportunites to Ethiopian youth to become globally minded positive change agents for their society.
In one year we have brought AIESEC in Ethiopia to be the driver of growth of AIESEC in Africa, attracting more then 50 international studetns to volunteer here but also sending the best talents to represent their Country in international Conferences. We have supported universities to develop international relations and offering to their studetns international internship abroad. We have been dreamer, hard worker and achievers thanks to the hundreds of Ethiopian youth who have accepted the challenge to make AIESEC a reality for their Country. We thanks all the organizations, universities and individuals who have always supported us, as well as all the ones who have challenged our work. Thanks to them AIESEC is now legal, sustainable and driver of growth for youth and for the Country. Elena Gaffurini, Elisa Valenti, Alena Prokesova, Samson Tingbani Expansion Team 2011-2012

AFROXLDS 2013
AIESEC IN ETHIOPIA | NATIONAL ANNUAL REPORT | 2011-2012
AIESEC in Ethiopia - AFROXLDS - Africa Exchange Leadership Development Seminar 2013
WHY in ETHIOPIA Despite of the recent enormous economic growth of the last 10 years, which has seen Ethiopia to be the 5th fastest growing economy in the world from 2001 and the 3rd fastest growing economy forecasted for the next 4 years, Ethiopia is still a 3rd world country. Many social issue are affecting the country, specially in the countryside and in the regions out of the capital city. AIESEC in Ethiopia can play a crucial role in supporting the development of the county by developing young responsible globally minded leaders. We believe the best way to link all these would be to engage as many youth in volunteering activities to live team experiences in a international contest and in an international environment. With this Conference we want to re-BRAND the image of Ethiopia in the world starting from Africa to show to 250 young leaders the potential of our land and attract them to partner with us for the development of Ethiopian Students and Recent Graduates to become the future of the country. WHAT IS AFROXLDS? AIESEC AFROXLDS is the biggest AIESEC African Conference. Every year it is organized in one of the 20 countries which are part of AIESEC in Africa Network to gather 250 youth leading the organization Nationally or Locally in Universities. During the 6 days of the conference International facilitator are delivering session on: • Leadership Development • Cultural understanding • Strategic Development of the organization • International Parnterships among universities The agenda of the conference comprises also: • National and Regional Partnership Launch • Workshop delivered by partners • Youth to No-Profit and Diplomatic Forum • Ethiopian Night & Gala Dinner
WHAT WOULD PARTNER ORGANIZATION GET? -‐ Access to youth from 20th African
countries -‐ Wordlwide online positioning and visibility -‐ National visibility and exposure -‐ Employer branding towards Selected
Ethiopian Students -‐ Premiére role in Branding Ethiopia in Africa
and in the world -‐ Access to strategic partnership for
