發(fā)放清潔爐灶是對尼日利亞境內(nèi)流離失所民眾的一項及時舉措

Nigerian Alliance for Clean Cookstoves （NACC） and First City Monument Bank （FCMB） have joined hands in an effort to alleviate the situation of Internally Displaced people （IDPs）. IDPs who in addition to being displaced from their homes， face grave health and safety problems and also have become vulnerable people with very little access to some of the basic needs such as cooking fuel. FCMB and NACC as an initial and immediate gesture will be handing over 250 clean cookstoves to IDP families in Abuja. The stoves were handed over to the IDP families on Friday December 19， 2014. National Emergency Management Authority （NEMA） and other organizations working with local communities were also present at the occasion.

Clean cookstoves in addition to efficient and economic cooking， will also address the risks associated with the collection， supply and use of firewood and charcoal， in an emergency situation. Such risks include increased vulnerability to sexual and gender-based violence or assault during firewood collection， loss of livelihood and educational opportunities， environmental degradation， and respiratory and other illnesses that cause premature deaths and child health problems.

尼日利亞清潔爐灶聯(lián)盟和第一城市紀念碑銀行攜手為緩解境內(nèi)流離失所民眾的困境做出了努力。境內(nèi)流離失所民眾除了要背井離鄉(xiāng)，也必須面臨嚴重的健康和安全問題，還因為無法滿足一些基本的需求，比如煮飯燃料方面的需求，而變成了弱勢群體。第一城市紀念碑銀行和尼日利亞清潔爐灶聯(lián)盟的第一次舉措是在2014年12月19日給予阿布賈境內(nèi)流離失所家庭250個清潔爐灶。國家應急管理機構(gòu)、其他組織和社會群體都在場見證了。

清潔爐灶不僅能進行高效經(jīng)濟的烹飪，也解決了木柴和木炭收集、提供、使用時的風險。這些風險包括了收集木柴時與性別相關(guān)的暴力事件所帶來的脆弱人群增加，喪失生存和受教育權(quán)利的可能性，環(huán)境退化，呼吸道和其他疾病、早產(chǎn)兒死亡和兒童健康問題。

“FCMB believes that all communities in which it operates should benefit from our presence. The Bank’s CSR initiatives are geared towards empowering people， especially the vulnerable and the disadvantaged. However， it prioritizes areas where it can have the greatest impact. FCMB， a founding partner of NACC， as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility （CSR） has donated 250 units of clean cookstoves including pots and heat retaining wonder box to the Alliance for distribution. The donated clean cookstoves to NACC that were distributed to the IDPs living in Abuja are aimed at meeting an urgent need and thereby creating a positive impact” says a representative from FCMB.

NACC officials had discussions with aid agencies and organizations that support IDPs. According to the National Emergency Management Agency （NEMA） there are over 740，000 Internally Displaced Persons （IDPs） including people fleeing from Borno， Adamawa and Yobe States. One of the camps of IDPs in Abuja with nearly 8000 persons being victims of insurgency was recently discovered by a church who reported to NEMA. NACC officials have visited the camp， had consultations with the Church， Camp leaders and NEMA.

“第一城市紀念碑銀行認為它所在的所有社區(qū)都應該從我們的出現(xiàn)中獲益。該銀行的企業(yè)社會責任在于賦權(quán)于人們，尤其是那些脆弱的劣勢群體。然而，它優(yōu)先選擇的是那些它能產(chǎn)生最大影響的區(qū)域。第一城市紀念碑銀行是尼日利亞清潔爐灶聯(lián)盟的創(chuàng)立伙伴，為了履行其企業(yè)社會責任，它向聯(lián)盟捐獻了250單位的清潔爐灶以供分發(fā)，包括罐子和保溫百寶盒。捐獻給尼日利亞清潔爐灶聯(lián)盟的清潔爐灶分發(fā)給了阿布賈境內(nèi)流離失所民眾，這一舉措的目標是滿足他們迫切的需求并創(chuàng)造出良好的影響?！钡谝怀鞘屑o念碑銀行一位發(fā)言人表示。

第一城市紀念碑銀行高級職員、援助機構(gòu)和境內(nèi)流離失所民眾援助機構(gòu)開展了討論。據(jù)國家應急管理機構(gòu)反映，從博爾諾，約貝州阿達馬瓦和逃出的境內(nèi)流離失所民眾多達74萬人。最近阿布賈一境內(nèi)流離失所民眾的營中有將近8，000人成為了暴動的受害者，這一情況是由一家教堂發(fā)現(xiàn)并匯報給國家應急管理機構(gòu)的。尼日利亞清潔爐灶聯(lián)盟官員走訪了這一營地，對教堂、營地首領(lǐng)和國家應急管理機構(gòu)進行了咨詢。

“This initiative marks the start of an innovative partnership that focuses on the pressing needs of some of Nigeria’s most vulnerable people，” says Mr. Ewah Otu Eleri， Executive Director of ICEED and the coordinator of the Nigerian Alliance for Clean Cookstoves （NACC）， while distributing the stoves to IDP families in Abuja. “Working with FCMB， the Alliance is committed to ensuring that the cooking needs of vulnerable IDPs populations are met， and that these families have a better chance to lead productive， healthy lives while waiting for peace and security to return to their homesteads” added Mr. Eleri.

The distribution and use of clean cookstoves helps to lessen personal security risks， to more equitable access to energy technologies and fuel among families， to healthier living conditions for cooking and to reduce illness and injuries. This also helps prevent conflicts among the displaced persons competing for scarce resources such as firewood.

“這一舉措標志著關(guān)注尼日利亞最脆弱人群的創(chuàng)造性伙伴關(guān)系的開始，”國際能源與經(jīng)濟開發(fā)中心執(zhí)行理事，尼日利亞清潔爐灶聯(lián)盟協(xié)調(diào)員Ewah Otu Eleri在向阿布賈家庭分發(fā)爐灶的時候表示，“聯(lián)盟與第一城市紀念碑銀行一同奮斗，可以確保脆弱的境內(nèi)流離失所居民烹飪的需求得到滿足，這些家庭在等待和平安全返回他們家園的時候，更有可能過上有生產(chǎn)力的、健康的生活?！盓leri先生補充道。

清潔爐灶的分發(fā)在減少個人安全風險、在各個家庭中建立更公平的能源科技與燃料獲取方式、使烹飪生活條件更健康并減少疾病和傷痛方面起到了幫助。

In a larger national context， NACC has built a public-private partnership to introduce 10 million clean cookstoves to Nigerian homes and institutions by 2020. The Alliance supports policy change， better technical standards and innovative financing in the development of a national clean cookstove industry. It works with public， private， and non-profit partners to scale up access to clean cookstoves in Nigeria. NACC is committed to being a catalyst for energy technology innovation， public-private collaboration， and culturally-appropriate solutions for better energy access.

The need for safe and clean cooking in Nigeria is huge. With ever increasing demand for clean cooking stoves， partnerships such as the one between FCMB and NACC in collaboration with government agencies and community organizations can help meet this demand rapidly on a national scale. NACC commits to partner with other well-meaning organizations to alleviate the energy challenges of IDPs in Nigeria.

從全國范圍來說，尼日利亞清潔爐灶聯(lián)盟建立了公-私伙伴關(guān)系，以便在2020之前向尼日利亞家庭及企業(yè)引進一千萬清潔爐灶。聯(lián)盟的行動對政策改變，更好的技術(shù)準則和發(fā)展國內(nèi)清潔爐灶行業(yè)的創(chuàng)造性資金供給活動給予了支持。它和公共的、私人的和非盈利性的伙伴一起奮斗，讓更多尼日利亞人可以使用清潔爐灶，尼日利亞清潔爐灶聯(lián)盟注定是能源科技創(chuàng)新、公-私合作和符合文化、擴大更佳能源使用范圍的措施的催化劑。

尼日利亞對清潔烹飪的需求非常巨大。隨著清潔烹飪爐灶的需求不斷擴大，類似第一城市紀念碑銀行與尼日利亞清潔爐灶聯(lián)盟這樣的政府機構(gòu)和社會團體之間的伙伴關(guān)系會迅速滿足全國范圍內(nèi)的需求。尼日利亞清潔爐灶聯(lián)盟承諾將與其他善意的組織一同減少尼日利亞境內(nèi)流離失所民眾帶來的能源挑戰(zhàn)。
