Republic of the Marshall Islands: The 4th
Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has just 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 crucial training was organized 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 women and youth with the understanding and practices required for climate-resilient water safety management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training reinforces a commitment to improving RMI's water security and community durability versus environment change effects, particularly ladies
and youth, guaranteeing that no one is left behind. The training invited participants from all 24 atolls and featured resource speakers from government companies, non-governmental organizations, and worldwide development 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 national training council Human Trafficking Task Force, Waan Aelõñ in Majel, Jo-Jikum, and the International Organization for Migration.

The first day of the workshop covered vital concerns connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the impacts of climate change on water security and the disproportionate impacts on susceptible groups. The importance of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all job aspects was also talked about. Human rights and human trafficking were taken on, stressing the requirement for detailed defense of susceptible populations
throughout emergencies. In addition, the workshop dealt with gender-based violence, highlighting the different kinds that can develop in catastrophe situations, such as domestic violence and sexual coercion. The agenda concluded with a focus on sanitation and hygiene and their crucial function in health, livelihoods, school attendance, self-respect, and building resilient communities. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his appreciation to all individuals
, highlighting the importance of their contributions to their neighborhoods."Women and youth are crucial to the success of the ACWA task. More importantly, you are the champs and future leaders who will return to your communities to empower others,"he stated. During the workshop, participants visited Rongrong Island and analyzed the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank set up at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA job.

ACWA is made possible thanks to the support of the Green Climate
Fund, with the task co-financed by the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands
. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two broader assessments- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high amongst the youth and females in the outer islands. Appropriate local experienced workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of properly skilled foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch in between offered jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to offer well-trained workers required for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job consisted of 4 components: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved skills training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, specifically ladies and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was ranked not successful. Minimal development was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The project was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has actually stayed essentially the exact 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
commitment to establishing a dedicated labour info system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task set up a labour market info system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
