Republic of the Marshall Islands: The fourth
Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has recently taken place at the University of the South Pacific's school in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(rmi national training council ). This important training was arranged by the United Nations Development Programme( UNDP )Pacific Office through the Addressing Climate Vulnerability in the Water Sector(ACWA) job. The week-long capacity-building training intended to empower females and youth with the knowledge and practices required for climate-resilient water security management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training strengthens a commitment to boosting RMI's water security and neighborhood strength versus environment modification effects, especially females

and youth, making sure that no one is left. The training welcomed participants from all 24 atolls and featured resource speakers from government companies, non-governmental companies, and worldwide advancement partners from the RMI Environmental Protection Authority, Climate Change Directorate, Office of the Chief Secretary, Ministry of Culture and Internal Affairs, National Disaster Management Office, Women United Together Marshall Islands, RMI Human Trafficking Task Force, Waan Aelõñ in Majel, Jo-Jikum, and the International Organization for Migration.

The very first day of the workshop covered crucial issues connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the impacts of climate modification on water security and the disproportionate effects on susceptible groups. The significance of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all task elements was also discussed.

During the workshop, individuals went to Rongrong Island and examined the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank set up at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA project.

ACWA is enabled thanks to the assistance of the Green Climate

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two wider evaluations- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high amongst the youth and ladies in the external islands. Suitable regional proficient personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality in between available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply trained employees required for sustained economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated national abilities training system. The task included 4 parts: development of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, especially women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the task was rated unsuccessful. Limited progress was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has stayed fundamentally the exact same after task completion. The research study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a dedicated labour information system to connect technical and occupation education training program offerings with market demand. Although the job set up a labour market info system, in the absence of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
