Budget Investment For ENRICH Education Programme
Press Release – Methodist Mission Southern ENRICH focuses on strengthening oral language skills, communication skills and early maths competencies all critical foundations for future learning and long-term life success. The Hon. Erica Stanford has today announced an investment in the ENRICH oral language programme – which will see the programme reach 525 early learning services over four years. ENRICH is an evidence-based programme created by Professor Elaine Reese (University of Otago) in partnership with Methodist Mission Southern (MMS). Over the last four years, the programme has been extensively researched through the world-leading Kia Tīmata Pai study – involving 140 ECEs from BestStart. ENRICH focuses on strengthening oral language skills, communication skills and early maths competencies – all critical foundations for future learning and long-term life success. The programme has demonstrated significant improvements for tamariki in these areas in research trials, and has been successfully implemented in ECE classrooms since 2021. The implementation of ENRCH is led by Jimmy McLauchlan, Chief Development Officer at Methodist Mission Southern, who has spent ten years working in partnership with researchers, policymakers, and education providers – to translate child development science into practical programmes that can benefit children on a national scale. 'Some of the world's best child development science has come out of this country – and programmes like ENRICH are turning that science into learning for hundreds of thousands of New Zealand children,' said McLauchlan. 'ENRICH works because it shares the science of language development through practical techniques that have been co-designed with teachers to work in busy classrooms. The programme embraces our cultures and curriculum, and has been tested by hundreds of teachers around the country over the last four years.' ENRICH will initially be rolled out to 525 ECEs over the next four years, alongside ongoing research and evidence-gathering work, which is aimed at making the programme even more effective and sustainable across the entire ECE sector in coming years. 'This investment today means we can reach even more tamariki with tools that build language, communication and early literacy skills when it matters most.'

Campaign Middle East launches Arabic website
Campaign Middle East has officially launched its Arabic-language website, expanding its digital offering to better serve audiences across the region. The move follows the release of Campaign Middle East's first bilingual print edition – the Saudi Arabia Report, published in April – which introduced Arabic-language editorial alongside regular English coverage. Building on that milestone, the new Arabic website aims to make regional thought leadership more accessible, inclusive and locally relevant. The site currently features original Arabic contributions from senior industry figures including MMS' Ahmed Sahhaf, GroupM's Amer El Hajj, Sifr's Amr Mergawi, Dentsu Creative's Faisal Aldakheel, Digitect's Faisal Ali Aliesawi, The Bold Group's Majdi Ghraizi, Aleph International's Rabih El Amine, Alafak's Rabih Houry, FOAJ Group's Rayan Altuaymi, Abu Dhabi Media's Rashid Humaid Al Qubaisi, and Omnicom Media Group's Ziad Sukkarieh. 'Campaign's Arabic website launch demonstrates our commitment to the MENA region for an increased online presence, ultimately driving local business growth and success stories,' said Nadeem Quraishi, Publishing Director, Campaign Middle East. He added: 'The Arabic website will be beneficial for our local audience as it's primarily the official language in many MENA countries. It helps us spotlight some amazing work done by local agencies and home-grown brands, along with their cultural insights.' 'Campaign Middle East now plans to reach a larger audience in new Arabic-speaking markets, thus giving a higher exposure and engagement to all our advertisers and partners,' Quraishi said. 'The Arabic website is one of the expansion plans we have for the Campaign brand in the Middle East, with many more such initiatives to follow.' Campaign Middle East Editor Anup Oommen commented: 'The brand, marketing, advertising and creative industry in the Middle East has spoken, and we have listened. Over the past few months, several leaders have spoken to us – on podcasts, panels, interviews and industry forums – about the need to localise content, make conversations inclusive and ensure that thought leadership resonates with wider Arabic audiences in the region.' 'We began by being a mouthpiece for these leaders and, now, we've decided to put their advice into practice ourselves,' he said. 'For the first time, Campaign Middle East has decided to publish content in Arabic online – offering leaders who think in Arabic the opportunity to inform, educate and inspire regional audiences in Arabic, while retaining thought leadership in English.' Campaign's Arabic site can be accessed at or via the العربية option on the main site navigation. The platform is now accepting Arabic-language thought leadership for publication online and across its social channels.

VITAMIN ANGELS AND THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH OF INDONESIA HOST MMS MEETING WITH LEADING NATIONAL AND GLOBAL EXPERTS TO REVIEW PROGRESS ON INDONESIA'S "NATIONAL MMS ANTENATAL PROGRAM"
As one of the first countries to implement an end-to-end initiative to integrate MMS and nutrition training into its national health care system, Indonesia aims to reach 4.8 million pregnant women with MMS by 2026 BOGOR, Indonesia, May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Vitamin Angels and the Ministry of Health of Indonesia convened national and global experts in maternal and child nutrition this month to review progress on Indonesia's efforts to introduce and scale up UNIMMAP MMS for pregnant women nationwide. This comprehensive, multi-sectoral initiative addresses the problem of maternal anemia, micronutrient deficiencies, and poor birth outcomes in Indonesia. As one of the world's first countries to replace the current standard of care, iron folic acid (IFA), with MMS and implement an end-to-end initiative to integrate MMS within its national health care system, Indonesia has set a powerful global precedent in advancing the health and nutrition of pregnant women. Alongside Vitamin Angels and the Ministry of Health of Indonesia, attendees included experts from the Indonesia MMS Technical Advisory Group (TAG), Kirk Humanitarian, and scientists from six local and international universities. "We are grateful for the collaboration of many partners in supporting this initiative and the rollout of MMS across Indonesia," said Dr. Lovely Daisy, Director of Family Health Services at the Ministry of Health of Indonesia. "Their contributions have strengthened our national strategy and brought us closer to addressing one of our most pressing health challenges—anemia, which affects nearly half of all pregnant women in our country. We believe that the integration of MMS within our comprehensive set of services for pregnant women will improve maternal nutrition and health outcomes for both women and their babies." Meeting participants reflected on this comprehensive initiative and the multifaceted efforts driving Indonesia's successful integration of MMS including new national policy and regulations, programmatic guidelines, healthcare provider training, behavior change counseling, a supply of MMS for launch and initial scaling, and a multi-year transition plan to support local manufacturing. The outcomes of these discussions are being documented and will serve as an example for other countries preparing to introduce MMS on a national scale. "The significance of Indonesia's MMS initiative extends far beyond the transition from IFA to MMS, which in itself is a critical advancement given MMS's proven superiority in preventing poor birth outcomes," said Dr. Ana Céspedes, CEO of Vitamin Angels. "What makes this initiative truly exceptional is our close partnership with the Ministry of Health to address every aspect of implementation, from policy development to improving adherence among pregnant women. It stands as one of the most comprehensive and impactful maternal nutrition programs Vitamin Angels has supported in recent years, reflecting our deep commitment to working alongside governments and global and local partners to improve maternal health outcomes." A key element of Indonesia's long-term strategy is the advancement of policy to enable domestic manufacturing of MMS. This step is critical to ensuring a sustainable supply beyond the initial phases of rollout. Currently, the MMS distributed through the program is made possible by the generous support of Kirk Humanitarian, who is donating the product. "Indonesia is the first country to identify and successfully implement a strategy to secure a sustainable supply of MMS from local manufacturers to meet the needs of Indonesia while serving the regional export market," said Spencer Kirk, Managing Director, Kirk Humanitarian. "This is a critical step in demonstrating how a nation can transition from depending on imported, donated MMS product to self-sufficiency." Looking ahead, Vitamin Angels will continue equipping healthcare providers with the training and tools they need to deliver care effectively to ensure a deeper, lasting impact on the health of pregnant women nationwide, including supplementation with MMS. This year, 1.3 million pregnant women across 209 districts in Indonesia will receive MMS with an additional 1.3 million bottles expected by the third quarter. By 2026, the aim is to reach 4.8 million pregnant women with MMS. "This program wouldn't be possible without the vision and leadership of the Ministry of Health of Indonesia and the strong collaboration of our technical partners," said Otte Santika, Indonesia Senior Country Advisor at Vitamin Angels. "This united effort is improving the health of millions of women and children across Indonesia."
