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.

Presidents of AIESEC Africa at Global Leaders’ Summit 2013

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.

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.

This Campaign was developed by the 2 national office of AIESEC Ghana but 1 implemented at the local level by the LCs with strategies and support from the Nigeria Burkina Benin Cote Togo Member Committee.

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.

Expansions

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. AIESEC Ghana | ghana@aiesec.net | P.O.

Financial Literacy Project
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.
