Word from the President My name is Siobhan Connelly and for the past year I have had the privilege of being the President of AIESEC in Tanzania. Together with my team and with the Local teams across the country we have been busy transforming AIESEC into an organisation that takes responsibility for shaping the reality of its people and their communities. This was an important year for AIESEC as it marked the final sprint of the 2015 mid-term ambition. The organisation took steps to be purposeful, collaborative, and action oriented in an effort to reach our goals. AIESEC in Tanzania decided to focus on how we do things rather than what we do, and by focusing on relationship building and collaborating externally we were able to grow in all our programmes. This year we wanted to shift the mindset of the young people we work with; to move away from “This Is Africa” and this is “our reality” and to take responsibility for defining the reality for our organisation. However as the leader of a team of 300 volunteers things rarely go to plan. And while I planned to shift the mindsets of others, to lead others and to teach others it was me who was able to learn this year. I learned that leadership is not about how you can impact and change others, but how you impact and change yourself. In my case it meant to change who I am, how I think, what I say, how I behave and what I do. To be aware of myself and to take responsibility for the world around me. To always ask the simplest of questions, like “What can I do?” and to stop looking only to others and what they will do. Not to seek to change people, but to seek to change myself and my impact. The shift in mindset that our organisation went through this year had a huge impact, with us being top growing entity globally for outgoing community development in May 2015 and sending people to work at a National Level in 8 different entities globally, but I will not use this space to tell you about the achievements of our members which have been so many this year. Instead I will challenge you to learn from my members as I have done; to take responsibility for what you can do to shape yourself and your community - because that is how we will create the Tanzania that we dream of. That is the type of leader we strive to develop the young people of Tanzania into. It has been a pleasure and an honour to lead this entity and I feel confident that there are only bigger and better things in store for AIESEC in Tanzania in the next year. Siobhan Connelly. President of AIESEC in Tanzania

The AIESEC In y a W
ACTION
The Way We Do It AIESEC is a global, non-political, independent, not-for-profit organization run by students and recent graduates of institutions of higher education. Our members are interested in world issues, leadership, and management. AIESEC does not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, gender, sexual orientation, creed, religion, national, ethnic, or social origin. AIESEC provides its members with an integrated development experience comprised of leadership opportunities, international internships, and participation in a global learning environment. This is the AIESEC Way.
This year, many AIESECers in Tanzania contributed to our vision of peace and fulfilment of humankind’s potential by tackling the issues that were most relevant to their regions. AIESEC leaders lived our values and ensured our platform was enabling young people to explore and develop their leadership potential to have a positive impact in their society. This is the AIESEC Way in action. How We Do It

AIESEC develops leadership through implementing our leadership development model that enables us to have youth that are self-aware, global citizens, capable of Empowering others and solution-oriented.
What we Envision:
: s e u l a V r Ou

The role of a leader is to unite others behind a common purpose. This year, in order to live Big AIESEC and fulfil AIESEC 2015 goals for the Global Citizen Programme, our fastest growing programme, we had to commit to purposeful exchanges, so that our programmes weren’t just made up of passionate members, they were entrepreneurial and relevant to the communities they ran in. This year the network changed their perspective on how we see the Global Citizen Programme so we could achieve even bigger and better impact.
Purposeful Global Citizen Program AIESEC’s Global Citizen Programme connects students and recent graduates to volunteer projects across the world.
10
Two years ago we launched the Global Citizen brand to better represent the topics that interest the target audience we are looking at for our volunteer projects. Clarity in our brand enables better communication of our purpose to our customers, resulting in delivery of higher quality experiences to our customers through focused audience targeting and appropriate expectation setting. A young volunteer travels across the world to go through a cultural learning experience while working for projects and NGO’s that aim to create positive impact in society based on specific issues for example education, sustainability, community development etc. AIESEC In Tanzania implemented three community based projects last year to provide support and enabling platform to empower Tanzanian children and youths. This year we received 253 international volunteers that participated in delivering these projects across communities in Tanzania and sent 75 young Tanzanian youth to volunteer in various Community Development projects abroad. We also introduced the Social Business Model to redefine the Global Citizen Programme. By working to make our Global Citizen Programme is more externally relevant and making sure our projects addressed the most pressing issues within communities the sustainability and quality of our experiences improved. We committed to quality in all of our Global Citizen experiences to enable even greater impact on the communities we reach, and even more life changing experiences for our members.

Being in China was a life changing experience for me especially the project itself and the opportunity I had to serve the society by impacting the youth on different issues facing the society. For me, it was a dream come true. I developed my leadership skills, obtained wide range of network, cultural diversity and met very amazing people from different parts of the world. It’s possible to imagine how it would feel; like the whole world becoming a single society sharing the same culture. ~Boniface Laurent

The children over here don’t have much material wealth, but they possess an abundance of positivity towards life. I can safely say that all of them desire to create a brighter future for themselves. Some even wanted to give back to the community after their education by helping out at charitable organizations. For some reason, this hit me hard as they were willing to give even though they themselves have little material possessions. This definitely made me reconsider my goals in life and I am sure that in future, I will give to those who are in need. ~ Chan Chee Choong

My name is Sara Hossam, but my students call me Teacher Mzunguan Egyptian exchange participant in AIESEC Tanzania, and this is my very first time volunteering abroad. My dream is to eliminate poverty through child education. I am volunteering in the AFRIKIDS project in the SOS Children’s Village for orphans. I chose this project because I believe that the development of a community happens as a result of the development of its children and the most help that can be provided is to orphans. The SOS Village has a kinder garden school and provides shelter for orphans that we help tutoring along with their schooling. Having this opportunity has made me see that the world has more important and critical matters than what we always care about. And seeing the smile of the kids when we teach them something new keeps me pursuing my dream. This journey has been changing me day by day and I hope that I would leave an impact that will change the lives of the people that I meet. ~ Sara Hossam

Projects The Bridge Project
Students across Universities in Tanzania get the opportunity to develop Entrepreneurial skills and Business mindset through workshops and trainings while they are still in University so that they get themselves prepared to become business leaders after leaving University. The Bridge project is aimed at providing university students the platform to develop career skills and basic competencies to prepare them for after school life. The project focuses on Entrepreneurship, Microfinance, competency building and soft skills development. Interns will work with learning partners to develop presentations and deliver strategies for different target groups in the university. The project will be solely implemented by interns after having trainings from learning partners.
This year the project was implemented in 5 Higher Learning institutions. Reached 500 students as beneficiaries, We recorded a total of 50 International Volunteers from 11 different countries that participated in this project and partnered with two Organizations to implement BRIDGE Project.
The swITch project
Focuses on training secondary school students in Tanzania on basic computer appreciation and applications. This is very fundamental in youth education as it forms the basis of their learning and computer application in their professional career. The project also provided a platform for vulnerable children and students to have access to hands-on training in computer appreciation and have an opportunity to continually improve their skills in computer use. The swITch project had a training model that was developed and implemented by our international volunteers to cover intermediate usage of computer to deliver task and create personal and professional documents. AIESEC international volunteers from different countries arrived in Tanzania and went to different schools to implement this project in schools. They were supported by AIESEC local member and learning partners.
The project was implemented in 15 Primary and Secondary schools across Tanzania. The Project reached 750 students as beneficiaries, We recorded total of 90 International Volunteers from 15 different countries that participated in this project andpartnered with 3 Organizations to implement ICT project

The project was implemented as from August 2014 to June 2015

Leaders cannot exist alone. This year, in order to live Big AIESEC and fulfil AIESEC 2015 we had to commit to the Global Talent Programme, our oldest programme, like never before. One entity working towards raising Global Talent participants would never achieve success without a collaborative entity working towards raising Global Talent positions.
e v i t a r o b a l l o C Global Talent Programme AIESEC’s Global Talent Programme connects students and recent graduates to professional internship experiences across the world.
14
Diversity within the companies, hard-to-find skills and a fresh perspective, access to the best talent from over 100 countries around the world - that is what we provide! We are unique because our organisation is run by the young people you will ultimately look to recruit. This makes us the leading way to interact with the best talent in the 2,100+ campuses we operate out of worldwide. We aim at helping companies who are eager to expand to new markets, have trouble finding specific skills in Tanzania’s domestic talent or simply want someone to come in and help shake up the culture of the organisation. For the year 2014-2015, we worked with 15 companies including Standard Charted Bank, EcoBank, KPMG, EY, Deloitte, Sunshine Card High Technology LTD, Sunshine transportation, Mogas, Beijing new building material group, Sinoma international, Fashion tourism investment, United bank of Africa, Bratt International, Atsoko and DPDHL. We aim at helping multinational companies to have a sustainable channel for their market throughout the years, while also helping SMEs to bring innovative and entrepreneurial talents who can play a key role in upscaling their business. Apart from that, we also helped 26 young graduates to develop their leadership potential as well as their career plans. They not only see themselves growing through our program, but also contribute to the economy and development of our country. Our primary focus is the development of the young people who we find opportunities for, to shape them into the responsible leaders of tomorrow. It motivates the volunteers across our network to dedicate their time and energy, and that is what has motivated us forward. We are passionate about what we do and I believe that there is potential for great things for the business world in Tanzania and for the international young people throughout the world.

AIESEC was very helpful for preparation of the internship (tips, information about documents, the country, the job and so on. Through AIESEC I’ve already met a lot of nice people and got the chance to adventure as much as possible in and around the city. On the whole AIESEC in Tanzania really took care for me as a intern and did their best that I’m comfortable here and to avoid cultural shocks which might happen without good preparation. ~ Sarah Lapp Intern from Germany

Managing people’s experience in order to maximize their personal growth and individual development is the core object of talent management department in AIESEC. To make sure we reach this objective, in this year the key highlight is conducting targeted recruitment of members which facilitated recruitment and allocation of right/needed profiles into the right teams and positions. Leadership Development The key message for this year was we wanted to develop leaders that our world needs, and our world needs leaders who are self-aware, solution driven, global minded and who care about empowering others. To make this happen we structured challenging roles that put our members in challenging environment that took them out of their comfort zones, and in the end helped our members to reinvent themselves through understanding their personal goals and values in life. Our network of 350 members experienced this through a variety of trainings which happened in the form of conferences and summits where in November we had our induction seminar for our members to understand the vision and mission of the organization, then October we organized the national leadership development seminar to prepare our members to take on different leadership roles and in June we had the national planning conference which was a space for our members to evaluate the learnings and output of 14/15 year then use to plan for the 15/16 year. The key highlight under leadership development for this year is that 5 of our members have stepped up and joined the national teams of AIESEC in Mozambique, Jordan, Rwanda, Moldova and Nepal. As well 58 of our members went on volunteering internship abroad for six weeks to further develop themselves.

Career ‘‘
Fair
Career Fair was like an open front door to my career path. From the companies workshops to the quick interviews and every activity. I (and other participants as well), was in a position of laying out my potential to a list of companies from different industries in the country through quick interviews during the event. This is more than what a fresh graduate or undergraduate could ever dream of.
I had job interview experience where I learned a couple of fundamental interview tricks like ‘’selling off my talent and potential’’ and career plan in general. I am now waiting for the last assessment of graduate trainee Program with Airtel Tanzania. Besides the interviews, There were sessions and other activities during the event and I managed to expand my professional network with the corporate personnel. Well, Career Fair was nothing more than a blessing to me, and in my perspective I can say that it is ‘’the first sentence in the definition of life after campus to graduates’’ Many thanks to AIESEC Tanzania team for making this event a success. ~Vedasto Thobias, Student at Mzumbe.

TPB CEO Mr Sabasaba Moshingi, who sits on the Board of Advisors for AIESEC, is an ardent believer in the need to shape our youth and provide them opportunities that will allow them to grow and reach their full potential. The same zest that is reflected in Mr. Moshingi’s eyes when he talks about providing opportunities for his children is reflected when he talks about the need to give young Tanzanians the tools they need to assume their rightful place in the Society.

The people of Tanzania need jobs, unemployment is a problem across the region. We believe that entrepreneurs hold the solution to that problem—and that if we support and encourage budding entrepreneurs we can not only create the jobs Tanzanians need but support the economy and brand Tanzania as the future hub for prospering African business. AIESEC has developed a programme especially for SMEs and Start-ups because we believe in the impact that we can have on these companies, the communities in which they operate, Tanzania and the young professionals we work with. We recognise that one of the key challenges that faces entrepreneurs is capital to invest in the talent that they need to be successful and kick start their company. And one of the things that puts young people off becoming entrepreneurs is that their education has not prepared them for this path—they don’t know how to do it and that is scary. So we came up with a programme that solves these two problems. We will bring students and recent graduates who have the skills that companies need to volunteer in start-ups and SMEs across Tanzania for two months at a time. And while there, these young people will learn about how to run an SME and what it takes to be an entrepreneur, so when they come home they can start their own business, making more impact. If you are an entrepreneur, own your own start-up or SME and believe that bringing in some Global Talent would drive immediate results for your business then this programme is right for you.

Since I was young I had a dream of becoming a change agent, but I didn’t know how I can make it happen until I joined AIESEC in 2012. The Experience, Knowledge and Network has changed me from a dreamer to an Achiever. Becoming a youth visionary leader today has nothing to do with my education if not for AIESEC. ~Finland Bernard, Founder ONE Action Tanzania

Financial Report: The year 2014-2015 against the audited report for the year 2013-2014. It should be noted that the financial year 2014-2015 is pending audit which starts in July 2015. Special thanks to Deloitte Tanzania for conducting the audit of 2013-2014. Income: The two largest sources of revenue for the year are the Global Internship Program (60 million TZS) and the East African Pioneers Congress (46 million TZS) that we hosted in Arusha. This was from the increased partnerships formulated across the network enabling us to grow massively. There have been few new revenue generation schemes as well. Expenditure: The overall level of expenditure increased in order to manage the increase in operations. This was largely due to the increase in human resource, investment and hosting of regional and international conferences.
