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 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 aimed to empower females and youth with the understanding 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 community durability versus climate modification effects, especially females

and youth, guaranteeing that nobody is left. The training welcomed individuals from all 24 atolls and featured resource speakers from federal government firms, non-governmental organizations, and global 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 vital concerns related to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the impacts of environment modification on water security and the out of proportion effects on susceptible groups. The significance of integrating gender equality and social addition into all project elements was also gone over.

ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed his appreciation to all participants

More notably, you are the champions and future leaders who will return to your communities to empower others,"he stated. During the workshop, participants visited Rongrong Island and took a look at the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank installed at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA task. The setup is a key element of the job, matched by support from Australia

By the workshop's end, individuals were much better geared up to understand climate change and its local impacts, drive adjustment and mitigation efforts, especially in water security, and make use of brand-new resources to affect their communities favorably. ACWA is enabled thanks to the support 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 job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two wider evaluations- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Appropriate local experienced personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of properly competent foreign employees. Thus, there was an inequality between available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to supply well-trained employees needed for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job included 4 elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, improved abilities training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, especially ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was rated unsuccessful. Limited progress was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering 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 needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has actually remained essentially the exact same after task completion. The 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 dedicated labour details system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with market demand. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
