Republic of the Marshall Islands: The 4th
Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has actually just recently happened at the University of the South Pacific's campus in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(rmi national training council ). This important training was organized 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 aimed 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 dedication to boosting RMI's water security and neighborhood resilience against environment modification effects, specifically females

and youth, making sure that no one is left. The training invited participants from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from government agencies, non-governmental companies, and international 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 very first day of the workshop covered crucial issues connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the impacts of environment modification on water security and the out of proportion impacts on susceptible groups. The importance of integrating gender equality and social addition into all task elements was also gone over.

during emergencies. Furthermore, the workshop dealt with gender-based violence, highlighting the various kinds that can emerge in catastrophe scenarios, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The program concluded with a concentrate on sanitation and health and their important role in health, incomes, school presence, self-respect, and structure resistant communities. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed his thankfulness to all individuals

Throughout the workshop, participants 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 task.

By the workshop's end, individuals were better geared up to understand climate change and its local impacts, drive adjustment and mitigation efforts, particularly in water safety, and utilize brand-new resources to impact their communities favorably. ACWA is enabled thanks to the assistance of the Green Climate

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

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two more comprehensive assessments- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and women in the external islands. Appropriate local knowledgeable personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of properly competent foreign workers. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to supply trained employees required for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job consisted of four elements: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved skills training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was rated not successful. Limited progress was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and could 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 basically the same after task completion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to establishing a committed labour details system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project set up a labour market details system, in the absence of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
