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 ). This important training was organized by the United Nations Development Programme( UNDP )Pacific Office through the Addressing Climate Vulnerability in the Water Sector(ACWA) project. The week-long capacity-building training aimed to empower women and youth with the understanding and practices required for climate-resilient water security management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training reinforces a dedication to boosting RMI's water security and community resilience against environment modification effects, especially females

and youth, making sure that no one is left. The training invited individuals from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and worldwide development 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. In her opening remarks, Secretary for the Ministry of Culture and Internal Affairs, Brenda Alik, underscored the significance of collective action in constructing a climate-resilient country."It is our responsibility to come together and interact. As we deal with the challenges presented by climate modification, understanding its influence on our water resources is vital for enhancing the wellness of communities throughout the Marshall Islands,"she said.

RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the essential function of females and youth in addressing climate-related obstacles."This workshop unifies us from various neighborhoods to attend to the pressing concerns we deal with today, consisting of climate-related obstacles, particularly on our water resources."We want to highlight the important role of ladies and youth in this project as your involvement is instrumental to its success and beyond, "she said.
The first day of the workshop covered important problems connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the effects of environment modification on water security and the out of proportion results on susceptible groups. The importance of incorporating gender equality and social inclusion into all task aspects was also talked about.

throughout emergency situations. In addition, the workshop attended to gender-based violence, highlighting the numerous kinds that can develop in catastrophe circumstances, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating.

ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed his thankfulness to all individuals

, emphasizing the importance of their contributions to their neighborhoods."Women and youth are key to the success of the ACWA project. More significantly, you are the champions and future leaders who will return to your communities to empower others,"he stated. 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 job.

By the workshop's end, individuals were much better equipped to comprehend climate change and its regional effects, drive adjustment and mitigation efforts, particularly in water safety, and use brand-new resources to impact their communities positively.

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 Evaluates the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two broader evaluations- the regional evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in skills training and the professional 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 among the youth and women in the outer islands. Ideal local competent workers for existing job vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of properly proficient foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch in between readily available jobs and skills 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 enhance abilities training to supply trained employees needed for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job consisted of 4 components: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, improved abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, specifically ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted development was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly attributed 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 needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has stayed basically the same after task conclusion. The research study put forward 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 trade education training program offerings with market need. Although the project set up a labour market info system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
