The Empowering Africa Program is a regional initiative that is taking place in 14 African countries within the AIESEC network. The concept behind the Empowering Africa Program is for AIESEC in Africa to empower young people to find their own ways of development and take further actions to capitalize on those development opportunities rather than facilitate the development process itself. This concept is based on our belief that young people should be enabled to make their own decisions about the way they see development happen in their lives and further on, how that individual development impact their surroundings.

AIESEC Cameroon has initiated the Empowering Africa Program in 3 local chapters across the country, affecting hundreds of lives as we join the fight against HIV/Aids and train young people to become Africa's young entrepreneurs. Below is a picture of some of our international volunteers that come from all over the world to have a life changing experience while working together with local project teams to truly Empower Africa!

ASK Project

ASK Program (Answers, Solutions and Knowledge around HIV/AIDS issues) is a program that aims to create peer educators in HIV/AIDS in high schools around 14 countries in Africa. At the same time, ASK Program will provide a platform for teenagers to interact with those peer educators in a summit event called ‘Come and ASK!’, ensuring the starting point of a progressive relationship between teenagers and the peer educators.

YES Project

The objective of the YES Program is to create teams that will support organizations and young entrepreneurs on conceiving a business idea and/or develop an existing plan to put it into reality. At the end of the project each team will have a business plan that includes vision and objectives to target markets as well as marketing strategies. International students will work for organizations, and together they will act as advisory and research teams to support local students in their task of creating a micro enterprise.  On the other side, AIESEC will prepare Cameroonian students to do a traineeship abroad around the issue of entrepreneurship.
