Day2
Currentstatevs.desiredstate?PR goals in terms of percentage of students who know what AIESEC is?
Year Percentage Strategy Comments
2012 December
10% Positioning AIESEC in university websites Streamlining our AIESEC social media and website platforms(means having a uniform message and less repetitive pages of facebook especially) Working with other organizations in university for a greater reach Using exchange to sell AIESEC Have a uniform message on all platforms Expansion to new LCs
2013 50% Working with Non student organizations for a greater reach Review the 2012 goals and achievements Expansion to new regions in our countries, eg coast for Kenya Engage High school leavers to do exchange before joining campus
Comment: We also have to consider that in East Africa only a small proportion of youth are students (in university and other institutions of higher learning) hence our challenge for engaging every youth is bigger
2014 75% Collaborate with non‐student organizations eg UN for projects Use of Mass media, radio, TV, print to position AIESEC
2015 100% Government involvement in AIESEC Activities Value addition for partners Create longer term partners for our programs in order to sustain the growth of our presence
Note: These numbers are just about 440,000 students in the five countries and when we say reach, we mean that at least each of the 440000 students has heard of AIESEC in the right manner and knows what AIESEC does. For the number of students who think that AIESEC is the best place for them to develop in order to impact the world, there has to be a way of measuring that first before we make estimates (EA PR delegates concluded that) therefore the ball is on the EA MC teams to make it happen. As for East Africa, the problem is that not many are in university or college hence we need to engage them too.

KeyPointsnoted1. We are our own enemies as members of AIESEC in terms of bad image
2. Our regional reach is less than 10% of students and there are more young people who are not
students so we are far from the goal of “Engaging and developing every young person”

Day3:We had a session by Elena Gaffurini about how we can engage the African youth and the global network
in improving the image of AIESEC in Africa, she told us of the Africa in me project to be launched late
next month (June).
GeneraldiscussionIn general, AIESEC Africa in general can involve the non‐ student youth in projects like Kuleana and
Kuleana Kazi which allow students to volunteer in NGOs in their country to alleviate different social
issues.
AIESEC East Africa is also organizing E‐Lead Conference which will allow non AIESEC students to
participate in a Leadership and entrepreneurship form te whole East African region in August.

HubCoordinatorCommentsFrom the PR summit, I, Caroline Maina VPIM and Comm of AIESEC Kenya have been doing trainings for
different groups in the country about PR and Branding and the importance of it. As a Result, one of
AIESEC Kenya’s National Focus Areas is PR and branding for the organization and every LC has or is
starting to create a PR plan. Some of the initiatives are Lets Get Loud Campaign which aims at
positioning AIESEC in Kenya especially through Mass media (TV and newspaper etc), Y2B and the Alumni
Innovation Café which has been ongoing since IC.
