TABLE OF CONTENTS

The AIESEC AfroXLDS 2015 Conference saw the beginning of a new

move within Africa. It brought together young leaders from all over

the continent, united by one purpose- the growth and betterment

of Africa, through nurturing the right crop of leaders.

However, AfroXLDS was more than the one week that was the culmination of all our activities.

It involved months of tireless effort, hard work, diligence and persistence, carried out by a

team of 19 young leaders from AIESEC in Kenya and beyond. With a dream, “Unleashing Africa

as the Future” and under the leadership of Simon Kioko, President of AIESEC in Kenya, we saw

to it that not only did the conference take place, but also, each life that was a part of it was

impacted.

AfroXLDS 2015 was a very personal experience for me. It was, indeed, a practical learning

experience, but even more than that, the team I worked with became as dear to me as a

second family. Having a group of people that are not only with you every step of the way, but

also understand exactly what you are facing, and share in your joy, success, disappointments

and anxieties makes such an undertaking easier and more worthwhile.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the core Congress Committee, the Member

Committee of AIESEC in Kenya, and the Teamsters, who came in to support and realize the

Conference. Special thanks to our Board of Advisors, who saw us through right from the start

up to the conference.

None of this, however, would have been possible without our partners’ support. These

companies and individuals who believed in us, in our dream, and invested valuable resources

into its achievement. We are truly thankful for your support, and look forward to a long and

fruitful relationship.

To the AIESEC International team, thank you, for affording us the opportunity to host the

conference, to put the name of AIESEC in Kenya in the corporate realm and to make a

difference in the lives of the African youth leadership. Thank you for showing your support,

and for being there for us at our points of need.

Last, but not in any way least, to the delegates of AfroXLDS 2015: We are Africa, and we are

the future. We have a journey ahead of us, and it has only just began. We are the Lions on the

Move. We are 2015.

Asante.

Greetings from Kenya!

It is has been 45 amazing years for AIESEC in Kenya; meaning, 45 years of activating a huge

number of amazing alumni who have gone on to be movers and shakers in Kenya and more

so, change agents; meaning, 45 years impacting the lives of young people in 12 different

universities in Kenya; meaning, 45 years of creating corporate and non-corporate

partnerships that have seen us through our activities; meaning 45 years of actively

contributing to the global AIESEC network; meaning, 45 years closer to peace and fulfilment

of humankinds’ potential.

Looking back at those 45 years, I can see 12 Local committees, 9 Specialised units, 2 country

expansions, 9 international conferences hosted, 5 UBS awards of excellence, but still, as an

organisation we have not yet fully capitalised on our market, our brand strength, our alumni,

our activities and events.

What more then would we ask for during AIESEC 2015 year celebrations? Well, nothing but

to get an opportunity to step outside of our comfort zone and challenge ourselves;

challenge ourselves and the rest of the world ,that it is about time AFROXLDS came back to

the entity where it has been only once before; back to the entity striving to continuously

renew the utmost relevance that AIESEC has in its youth; back to the entity that 45 years ago

no one would have expected to have been in AIESEC’s existence; back to the entity that has

the highest potential for growth in all aspects.

Who better to do it than an almost 45 year well performing African AIESEC entity ? An

entity seeking to build itself to its highest potential while continuously contributing to the

network as a whole. An entity with a strong and vibrant AIESEC history ready to take on the

future and have greater impact. This is the time for Africa. This is the time for AIESEC in

Kenya. This is the time for ‘AFROXLDS 2015 in Kenya!’

This was a dream that came to reality. We thank God for the opportunity and everyone who

made this a success.

We welcome everyone who played a part in this to engage with AIESEC in Kenya now and in

future.

Sincere regards,

Simon Kioko.

Member Committee President.

The African Exchange and Leadership Development Seminar (AFROXLDS) is a

7-day Conference that was held in Kenya from 30th March to 5th April 2015

The Conference was on the

This is the second time Kenya is hosting the conference since 2005.

As the largest AIESEC annual meeting in the African region, the Conference

provides an opportunity for young African leaders to meet and engage in

intense discussions, sharing and learning.

This is all intended to propel the organisation forward and develop leadership

skills amongst the participants. It brought together 150 of AIESEC’s leadership

from over 20 African countries and also included participation from Corporate

Partners, Government representatives, Media, alumni, University Students and

the general public.

In its uniqueness ,the conference comprises of several special events that are

highlights alongside the general conference sessions..

u

Brookside has solidified its

position as the market leader

in Kenya and is now East

Africa’s preeminent producer

of dairy products.

Brookside has already succeeded in empowering Kenya’s farmers and putting East Africa on

the world map as a source of high-quality food and beverage production. Mr. Njoka puts it

best: “With the growth that will come from all the investments that have been made,

Brookside will continue to have a positive impact not only on its communities, but on the

country and on the region as a whole.”

PARTNERSHIP SUMMARY

Being an ISO certified company , they connected with AIESEC

as the leading leadership creator of global minded leaders

THE TEAM

After winning the bid to host AfroXLDS 2015, none of us could imagine just how much this

opportunity would test us, grow us and above all mean to us.

It was the advisory board , who diligently showed us the how,

the partners and sponsors who shared and believed in the same dream,

the national committees who relayed and urged their members to attend,

the international team who showed the meaning of support in AIESEC,

the diversified team of facilitators who bridged the gap between our region and the rest of

the network,

the congress committee who together with us pulled off the late nights ,

best of all, it was the delegates who would constantly smile laugh and share with others

back home, who as of now are working toward a goal to unleash Africa.

It is all this and so much more that made us cry and laugh knowing we facilitated what we

believe in and that we, together as a team learned and witnessed humankinds potential.

This was our final conference as the team for 2014/2015 term.

A heartfelt thank you for trusting us with your experience.

We hope it made a difference to you, now it is your turn to replicate it to someone else.

Yours ,

MC BOLT,

Member committee team AIESEC in Kenya,

2014/2015 term.

The world is fast becoming smaller as technology advances. The

need to understand other cultures beyond our borders is now a

necessity. In this event we celebrated the diversity of our

continent while embracing those from beyond Africa.

Dance , traditional wear and delicacies were in abundance.

It was that captivating that the event took an extra 2hrs . A

shaping of perspective and openness to new cultures was the

cumulative result.

It was unfortunate that while carrying the conference .the Garissa attack that claimed

147 lives ,majority students, occurred. Being a student run organisation, our delegates

offered to showcase their support, offer their condolence and assure their loved ones

that they were indeed safe.

FINANCIAL REPORT

Financial activity of AfroXLDS 2015 started in January 2014 when the

entity decided to bid for the conference. We came up with a base, best

case and worst case working budgets plus a financial commitment from

the entity.

The main focus in our fundraising was to reduce costs for the delegates

and the conference while maintaining very high standards. Every cost

was weighed in consideration to the kind of experience we wanted to

provide and also the amount of revenue we had received as at the time

of catering for the cost.

Accommodation therefore became the centre piece in controlling of our

budget. There was a significantly big difference in terms of

accommodation cost from the time of conceptualization of the

conference to us signing for a venue. We settled for the Luke Hotel

which balanced both the cost and quality that we needed. This however

had a large financial burden to us.

With the support of our partners, we were able to position AIESEC in Kenya as

a destination and entity of choice. We have also attracted more financial

partners through our delivery of the conference which was made possible by

our current conference partners.

In conclusion, the finance desk is happy to report that AfroXLDS 2015 financial

goals have been achieved.

AIESEC AfroXLDS 2015 has left AIESEC in Kenya in a

healthy financial state with the capacity to continue

operation as usual. The return on investment has been

realized both financially and in terms of the LEADs that

the conference has provided to us. With these we believe

we will be in a capacity to unleash Africa (Kenyan) youth

as the future.

Our level of expenditure has been steady

throughout the organisation of AfroXLDS

2015. Our main expenditures were on

accommodation, logistics and special events.
