About Senegal
Our Projects
The world is facing a lot of issues and AIESEC in Senegal aims to provide LEADERSHIP opportunities to young people so they can make positive impact and tackle these challenges. Therefore we have designed some amazing projects that are relevant to solve problems in our country.

LC UCAD PROJECTS
Language Academy (LA)

Young Entrepreneurship (YES)
The major issue the world is facing now is the problem of employability. Everywhere in the world, young people are facing difficulties finding a job, and this has many other problems as consequences. This project comes to fight against youth unemployment through entrepreneurship.
The aim of the project is to train youth about entrepreneurship, business plan and how to look for funds for their projects.
After the training, participants should come to initiate their own projects and the partners of the projects will be able to sponsor the projects.
Interns of the project should be able to give trainings in how to make business plan, how to do fundraising and follow up the trainees.
Target audience: Young people

Green Young Entrepreneurs (GYES)
Some of the biggest issues the world is facing now are concerning the environment. As population is growing and resources are being exploited, many factors are contributing to the destruction of the environment. It is important and relevant now to take action to preserve the environment and do what we can to restore it. So doing we can insure a great future for the following generations.
The aim of this project is to train youth about the causes of the degradation of the environment and especially the contribution of men worldwide and locally. Then there will be conferences and seminars of information and trainings to youth to make them conscious about this big issue and how they can contribute to fight against this situation in Senegal. This project will involve other youth organizations and associations and community groups.
The purpose of the project is to fight against environmental issues while developing the concept of green economy.
The big events of this project will be to organize sensitization days, cleaning days and days of reforestation where we will be planting trees.
Interns should be involved in all the activities of the projects and give trainings to youth about environmental issues on specifics modules and topics.
Target audience: youth associations, all young people, every community group

SWITCH
The world is growing faster and all is about technology. The rate of people in Africa and especially in Senegal that are aware of these new technologies is very low. And technology becomes a requirement to grow and improve in any other area nowadays. The SWITCH project comes as a solution and an opportunity for youth to learn and develop their skills in Information Technology and Communication (ICT) area.
It aims to help young people in Africa to better understand and use computers and above all new ICT- related practices. These skills should be used to build entrepreneurship because they are essential requirements for the employee. Job creation and financial independence are all important aspects in achieving poverty reduction in Africa. This is done by exploiting the continent's greatest asset, its people, and by giving them the essential skills to push its social and economic development.
Interns should have knowledge in some software usage such as Microsoft office, SAARI, Photoshop, Vegas… and be able to give trainings to youth according to the softwares they master.
Target audience: university and secondary students

Answer Solution and Knowledge (ASK)
HIV/AIDS is one of the major diseases that kill large numbers of people in the world and especially in Africa. About three people die every minute in the world due to HIV/AIDS.
Many people are still ignorant about HIV and its ways of transmission and are still contracting the disease. So it is important for us as youth to stand and say “NO” to this situation and save our people.
The aim of this project is to train the trainers. So the professional of health such as our government and NGO partners will train the university students about AIDS/HIV issues and everything concerning the disease. Then these trained students will be the agent that will train the peer educator who will be the secondary students that will bring the information to their respective homes, families, friends...
Then the big events of the project will be the sensitization day and conferences about HIV/AIDS. There will also be some demonstration of preservative usage and tips to prevent the disease. Above all there will be a detecting of people for them to know their serology statute.
The intern should be involved in all the activities of the project and will be trained to become the peer educator trainer.
Target audience: youth

LC CESAG PROJECTS
SAMA Project
Malaria annually kills more than 2.7million people worldwide. 80% of cases are in sub-Saharan Africa, where mostly children under five years and pregnant women are affected. Every 30 seconds one child dies from malaria in the world.
African Governments have committed themselves to fight against malaria and achieve the Millennium Development Goals, but it’s still not sufficient. So we must all put our hands together to get into the same dynamic to improve the lives of many innocent people through "SAMA PROJECT".
The purpose of the project is to raise awareness of the disease, go to rural communities and tell them about malaria and how to prevent it. Make fundraising and approach international organizations to have support to buy medical mosquito nets and share them to people for them to sleep under them and prevent the disease, and destroy the sources of mosquitos by spraying insecticides… There will also be trainings to children and parents about good hygiene habits to prevent the transmission.
Interns should be responsible of the activities and lead them. They should raise awareness in the population about the disease through sensitizations and fundraise to buy mosquito nets that will be shared in houses.
Target audience: children and pregnant women.

Green Health
When we look at climate anomalies and natural disasters that we are witnessing, taking in account the protection of our environment is essential in any business idea. Thus, the project GREEN HEALTH appears as a program that encourages young people to undertake but more in the area of green economy to create green jobs.
The aim of this project is to create green jobs by initiating projects that will fight against environmental issues while providing financial incomes such as recycling garbage to produce bags while earning money or planting nursery trees that will bring incomes later.
There will be trainings about the concepts of “green economy”, entrepreneurship and how to make a business plan. After the training, the participants will come to initiate their own projects and two of them that really meet the concept of “green economy” will be sponsored by the partners of the project.
Interns should participate in all the activities of the project, training participants about how to create a business plan and about green economy concept. Interns can be trained also to the concept of green economy.
Target audience: youth

SWITCH (for children)
This project is to initiate children from an early age to the use of computer and English learning. In our current world, computer and English skills are important tools for children’s education.
There will be trainings in primary schools about computer usage and English learning.
To make this possible, interns should do international fundraising to bring some books to the children and fundraise for the project to buy computer to equip schools to make the trainings fluent (It is not mandatory).
The interns should be able to prepare and give trainings to the children in an innovative way for them to master all the topics.
Target audience: children from 8 to 15
