‫”لدينا وعد لنفي به” – استثمارات صندوق “التعليم لا يمكنه الانتظار” تصل إلى 7 ملايين طفل متأثر بالأزمة

نيويورك، 23 آب/أغسطس / آب، 2022 / PRNewswire / — أصدر صندوق الأمم المتحدة “التعليم لا يمكنه الانتظار” ( إي سي دبليو )، وهو صندوق الأمم المتحدة العالمي للتعليم في أوقات الطوارئ والأزمات الممتدة تقرير “ لدينا وعد لنفي به: تقرير النتائج السنوية “ اليوم مشيرًا إلى أن استثمارات صندوق إي سي دبليو مع الشركاء الاستراتيجيين وصلت إلى ما يقرب من 7 ملايين طفل ومراهق – 48.4٪ منهم فتيات – منذ إطلاق الصندوق في العام 2017.

New ECW Annual Results Report highlights impact of the United Nations global fund for education in emergencies and protracted crises as leaders race to deliver on the promise for universal, equitable quality education.

من خلال شراكاته الإستراتيجية، وصل صندوق إي سي دبليو إلى 3.7 مليون طفل في 32 دولة تأثرت بأزمة كوفيد في العام 2021 وحده. تم الوصول إلى 11.8 مليون طفل إضافي من خلال تدخلات الصندوق بشأن كوفيد-19 في نفس العام، ليصل العدد الإجمالي المدعوم من خلال التدخلات الخاصة بالتصدي لكوفيد-19 إلى 31.2 مليون.

تمكن صندوق إي سي دبليو من تجميع رقم قياسي قدره 388.6 مليون دولار أميركي في العام 2021، وبلغ إجمالي المساهمات في الصندوق الآن 1.1 مليار دولار أميركي.

“ليس هناك حلم أقوى من حلم التعليم. يجب أن نفي بوعدنا بتوفير تعليم جيد وعادل وشامل للجميع”، كما قال سعادة السيد غوردون براون, ، مبعوث الأمم المتحدة الخاص للتعليم العالمي ورئيس لجنة التوجيه العليا لصندوق إي سي دبليو.

يأتي تقرير النتائج على خلفية تقديرات جديدة صادمة تشير إلى أن 222 مليون طفل ومراهق في سن الدراسة ممن تعرضوا للأزمة على مستوى العالم بحاجة ماسة إلى دعم تعليمي. ومن بين هؤلاء 78.2 مليون طفل أصبحوا خارج المدرسة و 119.6 مليون منهم لا زالوا على مقاعد الدراسة لكنهم لا يحققون الحد الأدنى من الكفاءات في الرياضيات والقراءة.

وفقًا للتقرير، أدى الصراع والتهجير القسري والكوارث الناجمة عن المناخ والتأثير المركب لوباء كوفيد-19 إلى زيادة احتياجات التعليم في أوقات الطوارئ مع وصول نداءات التمويل من أجل التعليم إلى 2.9 مليار دولار أميركي في العام 2021، مقارنة بـ 1.4 مليار دولار أميركي في العام 2020. وبينما شهدت نداءات التعليم رقماً قياسياً بلغ 645 مليون دولار أميركي في العام 2021 – ارتفعت فجوة التمويل الإجمالية بنسبة 17٪، من 60٪ في العام 2020 إلى 77٪ في العام 2021.

مؤتمر التمويل رفيع المستوى الذي يعقده صندوق إي سي دبليو في جنيف في شباط/فبراير 2023 وحملة “222 مليون حلم” يدعوان المانحين الحكوميين والقطاع الخاص والمؤسسات والأفراد ذوي الملاءة المالية العالية لتحويل التزاماتهم إلى عمل من خلال تقديم مساهمات تمويلية كبيرة لصندوق إي سي دبليو.

وقالت ياسمين شريف، مديرة “التعليم لا يمكنه الانتظار”: “النتائج القوية التي حققها إي سي دبليو في السنوات الخمس الأولى من عمله هي دليل على أنه يمكننا تمكين الفتيات والفتيان المتضررين من الأزمات بالأمل والحماية وفرصة التعليم الجيد”.

Milo Vapes Global (MVG) Launches Solution for Smoking-Related Epidemic in the Middle East – Innovative Flavored Tobacco Products Unveiled For Distribution

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Milo Vapes Global (MVG) announced its plan for the Fall ’22 product launch of a range of flavored tobacco products under two brands, Milo Vapour and Sahara Mist, which will be distributed exclusively in the Middle East.

The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction (GSTHR) indicates that the number of current smokers is 85 million in the Middle East and is expected to reach 100 million smokers by 2025. The average smoke rate is 31.2% in the Middle East; Jordan shows the highest smoking rate (41.1%), followed by Lebanon (31.8%). On the other hand, Morocco and Qatar reported the lowest smoking rates of 13.8% and 13.1%, respectively.

A study published in the Academic Journal Tobacco Control in 2021 estimates that the total cost of health-related smoking in the six Gulf Cooperation Council countries — Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and UAE — amounted to more than $14.3 billion in 2016 alone. Government health spending on smoking-related diseases accounted for almost 75 percent of the total cost. Among those six nations, the economic cost of smoking was highest for Saudi Arabia, the most populous GCC country, which amounted to more than $6.3 billion.

“Influenced by history and culture, we carefully selected and drafted new and innovative tobacco products that are tailored to the consumers’ tastes and cravings. The company is committed to its mission of delivering solutions to the smoking epidemic by delivering new tobacco products that aim to better smokers’ quality of life,” says Mr. Mike Khalil, President, and Founder of MVG.

The electronic cigarettes market is estimated to grow at a rate of 9.7% annually and is estimated to reach 485 million dollars by 2025, up from 267.9 million dollars in 2018. The expected growth is attributed to an increase in the young population combined with media and vape companies’ influence. “The company aims to contribute to the growth of the e-cigarette market through innovations and brand recognition in conjunction with our harm reduction initiative,” says Mr. Khalil.

“Governments could play an essential role in changing the population’s behavior toward smoking. The government must regulate and oversee the vape industry in each country, and the health departments should safeguard the vape industry and protect consumers in each country by ensuring the safety and integrity of e-cigarettes. Furthermore, healthcare providers should advise smoking patients to transition to less harmful alternatives such as e-cigarettes through healthcare strategies and disease prevention programs.” concluded Mr. Khalil

About Milo Vapes Global:

Milo Vapes Global (MVG) was established in 2016, focusing on developing innovative products in different industries, including food, beverages, and supplements. Recently, MVG has launched unique and innovative flavored nicotine products for the Middle East market.

‫أزاحت شركة مايلو فايبس جلوبال (Milo Vapes Global) الستار عن منتجات تبغ مبتكرة ذات نكهات لطرحها وتسويقها في الشرق الأوسط كحلِ للحد من مخاطر التدخين.

لوس أنجلوس، 23 أغسطس 2022 / PRNewswire / — أعلنت شركة مايلو فايبس جل وبال (MVG) عن خطتها لطرح منتجات خريف 2022 – وهي مجموعة من منتجات تبغ ذات نكهات تحمل اسم العلامتين التجاريتين مايلو فابور (Milo Vapor) وساهارا ميست ( Sahara Mist )، والتي سيتم تسويقها خصيصًا في الشرق الأوسط.

تشير تقديرات الوضع العالمي للحد من أضرار التبغ حسب (GSTHR) إلى أن العدد الحالي للمُدخنين في الشرق الأوسط يصل إلى خمسة وثمانين (85) مليون شخص، ومن المتوقع أن يزيد هذا العدد ليصل إلى مائة (100) مليون مُدخن بحلول عام 2025م. تُقدر معدلات التدخين في الشرق الأوسط بحوالي (31.2%)؛ حيث يسجل الأردن أعلى معدل للتدخين يصل إلى (41.1 %)، يليه لبنان بمعدل يصل إلى (31.8%). وعلى صعيد آخر، المغرب وقطر من الدول الأقل في معدلات التدخين بنسب تصل إلى (13.8%) للأولى و(13.1%) للثانية.

أشارت دراسة نشرتها المجلة الأكاديمية للحد من أضرار التبغ عام 2021م إلى ارتفاع إجمالي تكلفة علاج المشكلات الصحية الناجمة عن التدخين في دول مجلس التعاون الخليجي الست (البحرين، الكويت، عمان، قطر، المملكة العربية السعودية، والإمارات العربية المُتحدة) لأكثر من 14.3 مليار دولار في عام 2016 وحده. كما وصلت نسبة الإنفاق الحكومي بقطاع الصحة لعلاج الأمراض الناجمة عن التدخين إلى 75% من القيمة الإجمالية. ومن بين الدول الست كانت الخسائر الاقتصادية للتدخين هي الأعلى في المملكة العربية السعودية – التي تُعد أكثر دول مجلس التعاون الخليجي سكانًا – حيث تجاوزت 6.3 مليار دولار.

قال السيد/ مايك خليل – رئيس ومؤسس شركة مايلو فايبس جل وبال ( MVG ) : “استلهامًا من التاريخ والحضارة في الشرق الأوسط، اخترنا وجهزنا بعناية منتجات تبغ جديدة ومبتكرة ومُصممة خصيصًا لتناسب أذواق المُستهلكين ورغباتهم حيث تلتزم شركتنا برسالتها التي تسعى لتقديم حلول للحد من مخاطر التدخين عبر طرح منتجات تبغ جديدة تهدف إلى تحسين نمط وأسلوب حياة المدخنين.

قال السيد/ خليل: “من المتوقع أن يحدث نمو في سوق السجائر الإلكترونية بمعدل يصل إلى 9.7% سنويًا، كما من المتوقع أن يحقق ذلك أرباحًا تصل إلى 485 مليون دولار بحلول عام 2025، بدلًا من 267.9 مليون دولار في عام 2018م. ويُنسب هذا النمو المتوقع إلى الزيادة في فئة الشباب إضافةً إلى دور وسائل الإعلام وجذب شركات السجائر الإلكترونية. وأضاف السيد/ خليل أن الشركة تسعى إلى ازدهار سوق السجائر الإلكترونية من خلال الابتكار، والدعاية والتسويق للشركة إلى جانب مبادرتنا للحد من أضرار التدخين”.

واختتم السيد/ خليل بقوله: “يمكن للحكومات أن تلعب دورًا رئيسيًا في تغيير سلوك الأفراد تجاه التدخين. يجب أن تقوم الحكومات بالضبط والرقابة على صناعة السجائر الإلكترونية في كل دولة، كما يجب على وزارات الصحة اتخاذ التدابير الاحتياطية تجاه صناعة السجائر الإلكترونية وحماية المستهلكين في كل دولة لضمان أمان وسلامة هذه السجائر. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، يجب على مقدمي الرعاية الصحية أن يوجهوا المرضى المُدخنين للتحول إلى بدائل أقل ضررًا كالسجائر الإلكترونية من خلال خطط الرعاية الصحية وبرامج الوقاية من الأمراض”.

نبذة عن شركة مايلو فايبس جلوبال (MVG):

تم تأسيس شركة مايلو فايبس جل وبال (MVG) عام 2016، وهي شركة تهدف إلى تطوير منتجات مبتكرة في العديد من المجالات، بما في ذلك الأغذية، المشروبات، والمكملات الغذائية. وفي الآونة الأخيرة، أطلقت الشركة منتجات نيكوتين مبتكرة وذات نكهات لمنطقة الشرق الأوسط حيث قام علماء وخبراء خلط وضبط النكهات لدينا باستحداث منتجات تبغ خاصة لأسواق الشرق الأوسط. www.milovapor.com
