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 recently taken place at the University of the South Pacific's campus in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This essential training was arranged by the United Nations Development Programme( UNDP )Pacific Office through the Addressing Climate Vulnerability in the Water Sector(ACWA) job. The week-long capacity-building training intended to empower ladies and youth with the knowledge and practices needed for climate-resilient water safety management in the

As we face the obstacles posed by climate change, understanding its influence on our water resources is vital for improving the wellness of neighborhoods throughout the Marshall Islands,"she stated.

RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the vital role of women and youth in resolving climate-related obstacles."This workshop unites us from different communities to resolve the pressing problems we face today, including climate-related challenges, particularly on our water resources."We want to emphasize the essential role of ladies and youth in this job as your participation contributes to its success and beyond, "she stated.
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 conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the effects of climate modification on water security and the disproportionate results on susceptible groups. The value of incorporating gender equality and social addition into all project aspects was also talked about. Human rights and human trafficking were taken on, worrying the need for thorough defense of vulnerable populations

during emergency situations. Additionally, the workshop addressed gender-based violence, highlighting the different forms that can arise in disaster scenarios, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The program concluded with a concentrate on sanitation and health and their essential function in health, incomes, school attendance, self-respect, and building resistant neighborhoods. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed his thankfulness to all individuals

, stressing the significance of their contributions to their communities."Women and youth are essential to the success of the ACWA job. More notably, you are the champions and future leaders who will go back to your neighborhoods to empower others,"he stated. Throughout the workshop, participants checked out Rongrong Island and took a look at the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank set up at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA project.

By the workshop's end, participants were better equipped to understand climate modification and its local impacts, drive adjustment and mitigation efforts, particularly in water security, and use brand-new resources to impact their neighborhoods favorably. ACWA is made possible 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 Assesses the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 more comprehensive assessments- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Ideal local experienced personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately competent foreign workers. Hence, there was a mismatch in between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply well-trained employees required for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The job consisted of 4 components: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, particularly women and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was ranked not successful. Limited development was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The job was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has remained fundamentally the same after task conclusion. The study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
dedication to establishing a dedicated labour information system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with market need. Although the task set up a labour market info system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
