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 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 understanding and practices needed for climate-resilient water safety management in the

The very first day of the workshop covered vital issues related 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 results on susceptible groups. The importance of incorporating gender equality and social inclusion into all project elements was likewise talked about.

ACWA is enabled thanks to the assistance 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 Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two broader evaluations- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high among the youth and women in the external islands. Appropriate local competent personnel for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately competent foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality between offered jobs 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 enhance skills training to offer well-trained employees required for continual economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job included four components: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved abilities training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, particularly ladies and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Limited progress was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness 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 partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and could 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 professional education training system has actually remained essentially the exact same after project conclusion. The study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
dedication to developing a dedicated labour info system to connect technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task set up a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
