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 campus in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This important training was arranged by the United Nations Development Programme( UNDP )Pacific Office through the Addressing Climate Vulnerability in the Water Sector(ACWA) task. The week-long capacity-building training intended to empower females and youth with the understanding and practices needed for climate-resilient water safety management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training strengthens a dedication to boosting RMI's water security and community strength versus environment change impacts, particularly ladies
and youth, ensuring that no one is left. The training invited individuals from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from federal government agencies, non-governmental companies, 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 Human Trafficking Task Force, Waan Aelõñ in Majel, Jo-Jikum, and the International Organization for Migration.

The first day of the workshop covered critical issues associated with gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the impacts of climate modification on water security and the out of proportion effects on susceptible groups. The importance of incorporating gender equality and social addition into all project elements was also talked about.

ACWA is enabled thanks to the assistance 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 Evaluates the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 broader evaluations- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the employment and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high amongst the youth and women in the external islands. Ideal local proficient personnel for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly experienced foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch in between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to provide well-trained workers required for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national abilities training system. The job included four components: development of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, especially ladies and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Limited progress was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and might not develop 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 remained fundamentally the very same after project conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to establishing a dedicated labour info system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with market demand. Although the project set up a labour market info system, in the absence of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
