Exciting News!

It is with great excitement that we announce that AIESEC in Jordan has just signed a Grant Agreement with USAID/SABEQ to receive funding for one year, to support AIESEC in two aspects:
  • Entrepreneurship Project: Developing Jordanian Youth through Internships
  • Institutional Capacity Building
This grant has come through after over 6 months of hard work, and we're extremely excited and over the moon here to be running full scale implementation of our initiatives!

We'd like to thank the MC for 2006/2007 - especially Annika Rudback and Monika Gmucova for all their work on developing the relationship with USAID, and writing and rewriting the Grant Proposal and Budgets..this wouldn't have been possible without such a fantastic start up team in Jordan!

Looking forward to an extremely exciting year :)
