Republic of the Marshall Islands: The fourth
Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has actually just recently occurred at the University of the South Pacific's school in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This vital 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 aimed to empower females and youth with the understanding and practices needed for climate-resilient water security management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training reinforces a commitment to enhancing RMI's water security and community durability versus climate change effects, especially ladies

and youth, making sure that nobody is left behind. The training welcomed individuals from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from government companies, non-governmental companies, and international advancement partners from the rmi national training council 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 critical issues associated with gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the effects of climate change on water security and the disproportionate impacts on susceptible groups. The value of incorporating gender equality and social addition into all task aspects was also gone over. Human rights and human trafficking were taken on, worrying the requirement for extensive protection of vulnerable populations

during emergency situations. Additionally, the workshop addressed gender-based violence, highlighting the different forms that can emerge in disaster situations, such as domestic violence and sexual coercion.

By the workshop's end, individuals were much better geared up to understand environment change and its local effects, drive adaptation and mitigation efforts, particularly in water security, and use new resources to affect their communities positively. ACWA is enabled thanks to the support of the Green Climate

Fund, with the project co-financed by the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two broader assessments- the regional evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high amongst the youth and women in the outer islands. Suitable local experienced personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of appropriately proficient foreign workers. Therefore, there was a mismatch between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply well-trained workers needed for sustained economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The project consisted of four elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, especially women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Limited progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and might not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has actually stayed basically the very same after task conclusion. The 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
dedication to developing a committed labour details system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with market need. Although the project set up a labour market info system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
