Definition of Africa in Me

AiM is a strategy for AIESEC in Africa

to develop massive amount of young

people, especially African youth, by

offering them a leadership platform.

We do this in relevance to our market

and society, for a sustainable

development of the African continent

because, we believe that stronger

youth leadership is developed in that

context. We commit to partner in

delivering this strong youth leadership.

AiM is represented by a map of Africa

resembling the shape of a heart to show the

compassion, love and caring attitude of the

African people and the aim of AiM is

represented by the hands in the midst of

Africa, a hands-on attitude for impactful and

sustainable positive change in Africa.

Purpose • Unify and align AIESEC in Africa on its activities and projects.

• Focus the region on the implementation and delivery of the full

refreshed AIESEC Experience to deliver more and better AIESEC XPs

• Foster a collaborative and innovative environment.

• Increase external and internal positioning,

• Bring financial sustainability to entities and generate revenue

through our programs (GIP, GCDP, TMP&TLP) and from funds/grants.

“Africa is the

untold story, and

could be the big

story, on the next

decade.”

Muhtar Kent, CEO of Coca-cola. Africa: Coke’s last frontier, October 2010

Principles

1. Entities can develop different and innovative projects, as far as they are relevant to their

societies, respond to specific needs, have a long-term impact and fulfill the principles for

each area of impact

2. All projects should contribute directly to the delivery of AIESEC Experience, considering all its

phases (EwA, ELD, LLC) with focus to ELD programmes.

3. All projects should actively engage current and potential TN takers, EPs and TMP/TLP

participants to create more AIESEC XPs.

4. All projects related to exchange (GCDP and GIP) must connect the interns with local

communities and should have externals involvement from the creation to the delivery.

5. Entities can name the projects freely, as far as they are connected with the description and

purpose of the program and areas of impact.

6. All projects should be financially sustainable through direct sales and/or financial models that

enhances sustainability
