Education Cannot Wait (ECW) called on world leaders to provide US$1.5 billion in urgent funding to support the UN’s global fund for education in emergencies and protracted crises and its strategic partners in reaching 20 million crisis-impacted children and adolescents in the next four years.

NUEVA YORK, 20 de septiembre de 2022/PRNewswire/ -- Education Cannot Wait (ECW) ha hecho un llamamiento a los líderes mundiales para que aporten 1.500 millones de dólares de financiación urgente para apoyar al fondo mundial de la ONU para la educación en situaciones de emergencia y a sus socios estratégicos para llegar a 20 millones de niños afectados por la crisis en los próximos cuatro años.

Education Cannot Wait (ECW) a appelé les dirigeants du monde entier à fournir un financement urgent de 1,5 milliard de dollars américains pour aider le Fonds mondial de l’ONU pour l’éducation dans les situations d’urgence et ses partenaires stratégiques à apporter un soutien à 20 millions d’enfants touchés par les crises au cours des quatre prochaines années. Le nouveau Plaidoyer pour l’investissement et le Plan stratégique 2023-2026 d’ECW établissent une nouvelle vision audacieuse pour le fonds mondial révolutionnaire des Nations Unies, qui a mobilisé plus d’un milliard de dollars américains et offert un soutien direct à près de 7 millions d’enfants depuis sa création en 2016, en plus d’aider 31,2 millions enfants grâce à sa réponse à la COVID-19. 

From Pakistan to Ukraine to Venezuela to vast stretches of sub-Saharan Africa, rising crises and climate disasters are taking an added toll on the most vulnerable — children deprived of school. Since 2016, Education Cannot Wait (ECW) has raised more than $1 billion to build schools and buy educational materials as well as provide daily meals and offer psychological services. But head of ECW Yasmine Sherif says that the urgency of the situation requires much bigger efforts.

Leaders from across the world are uniting at the UN Secretary-General's Transforming Education Summit to address a global education crisis that threatens to derail decades of development gains and is depriving millions of girls across the world of their inherent human right to access a quality education. Education Cannot Wait, as the UN's global fund for education in emergencies and protracted crises, champions these transformational approaches.
