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

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.

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.
For updates on the project, visit www.facebook.com/TheCapeCoastInitiative.”
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.

Corporate Relations
Partner Management Partnership re-signing talks with Global Media Alliance, PwC and Standard Charted
Bank Ltd were actively pursued within this period. Brand Effect was signed on as a new
national partner taking on Global Internship Programme interns, supporting the Ghana
Youth to Business Forum and providing financial sponsorship to the organisation.
HP Ghana was referred to us by an alumnus and we are in talks with them to sign on for
a CSR project. BusyInternet, UT Bank, Absolute Travel, ACCA and Unilever have been
contacted to build partnerships and negotiations are still on-going.
Business Breakfast Business Breakfast event was a day’s event spanning duration of 2-3 hours. It was an
open platform for our membership and young people to interact with corporate
representatives. It created a platform for companies to interact and develop mutually
beneficial relationship. It also had the objective of activating thought leadership in ideas
concerning the future of young talent in Ghana by getting together major market players
from diverse backgrounds with various working professionals and graduate students

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.
