GCDP ICX
AIESEC Sri Lanka has been achieving greater milestones during the last
few quarters in terms of iGCDP, 391% growth in the
year of 2012 is a clear indication of what we have achieved.
By providing Unique life changing experiences to 355 global youth,
AIESEC Sri Lanka surpassed the target for the term 12/13 which was
311.
The term 13/14 is planning to bring even more challenges by doubling
the target to 620 realisations for the term. This requires
passion, commitment, dedication and perseverance in set of individuals
who determine to lead in the process of achieving peace and fulfilment
of humankind’s potential and we are proud to say that it is who we are.
As at the moment we have achieved more than 200
realisations for the term clearly indicating the
capability of over achieving the goal for this term as well.
There are four national initiatives under
iGCDP programme and we also facilitate diverse project range in
accordance to the Issue segmentation strategy by AI.
Education Initiative
This is the biggest iGCDP focus area of AIESEC Sri Lanka which falls
under the “literacy” category according to the issue segmentation
guidelines. There have been many projects organised under this
initiative over the last 10 years and 100s of EPs engage every year for
the programme.
The project mainly focuses on uplifting the status of education system
in the country through the inclusion of innovation and creativity to the
traditional way of teaching.
Under this initiative you can find the following projects being executed
throughout the term,

E-Gurugedara, Feugosticka – teaching IT, mobile app and game
development

kindergarten
Hodiya, Ayanna – teaching for pre-school children
Empowerment Initiative
The country is leading to a mega development phase achieving over
8% GDP growth rate during the past few years, with that the need to
empower youth and others sub sections of the society is a national
requirement.
Aligning to that AIESEC Sri Lanka developed the youth empowerment
project focusing on enhancing soft skills of the undergraduates
through collaborative efforts of foreign youth, women empowerment
project to bring more value to the women who could be the front-
runners of the entrepreneurial development of the country and other
projects to empower the handicapped soldiers and SME sector of the
country. All these initiatives falls under the “career development” and
“economic growth” categories according to the issue segmentation
guidelines. Under this initiative you can find the following projects
being executed throughout the term,

undergraduate students

skills and group work

become a major tourist destination exceeding 1 million tourists per
year. With the current growth rate of more than 30%, Sri Lanka
expects to host over 2.5 million tourists by the year 2016.

promoting tourist locations and provide suggestions to improve the
quality to attract high volumes of tourists. Interns with a sense of
