1. Making new COMM
partnerships

2. Partner's vision, values, beliefs & practices: Why do they
exist? What do they want to achieve? What's their impact on society?
What means do they use do achieve it?
Their brand in your target market. What students think of
them? How trustful are they? What's their history? How is it
connected to AIESEC? What's their relevance?
Dont's partnerships: political, camouflaged for profits (eg life coaching
event charging 40 E/person), personal benefits (eg fame, network etc)->
understand their real intentions, protect AIESEC!
"Show me your friends to tell you who you are"

See what they can offer you & what you can do for them.
Credibility? Trust? Network? Advise? Funding? What else?
How can you help them?

3. Media
Other youth NGOs
 Are they accurate? Are they official? Are they objective or political &
manipulative?
 What is their audience (age, profile etc)? What is their reach? Better on LC
or National Level? Does it cover your target audience?
Generally, we want co-operation with other NGOs.
However, always take into consideration: their beliefs & commitment, their
structure, their members & their programs as well as their brand positioning in
the society (with what kind of NGOs do you want to be associated with?)
Gimme gimme gimme, more!
