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 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) project. The week-long capacity-building training aimed 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 dedication to boosting RMI's water security and neighborhood durability versus environment modification effects, specifically females

and youth, making sure that no one is left behind. The training welcomed participants from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from federal government agencies, non-governmental companies, and worldwide advancement 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.

The very first day of the workshop covered crucial 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 effects of climate change on water security and the disproportionate impacts on susceptible groups. The value of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all task aspects was likewise gone over. Human rights and human trafficking were dealt with, worrying the requirement for thorough protection of vulnerable populations

during emergency situations. In addition, the workshop attended to gender-based violence, highlighting the numerous types that can emerge in disaster circumstances, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The agenda concluded with a concentrate on sanitation and hygiene and their important role in health, incomes, school attendance, self-respect, and structure resilient neighborhoods. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his appreciation to all participants

, highlighting the significance of their contributions to their communities."Women and youth are essential to the success of the ACWA task. More notably, you are the champions and future leaders who will return to your neighborhoods to empower others,"he said. Throughout 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 project.

ACWA is enabled 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 Examines the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive examinations- the regional examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and women in the external islands. Appropriate local competent workers for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Thus, there was an inequality in between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply trained employees required for sustained economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The task included 4 components: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, specifically females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was ranked not successful. Minimal development was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of poor 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 job was supply-driven and could 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 trade education training system has remained essentially the very same after task conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a committed labour info system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with market need. Although the task established a labour market information system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
