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) task. The week-long capacity-building training intended to empower women and youth with the understanding and practices needed 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 resilience versus environment modification impacts, particularly women

The first day of the workshop covered vital concerns associated with gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands.

The importance of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all task elements was likewise talked about.

during emergency situations. In addition, the workshop dealt with gender-based violence, highlighting the different forms that can arise in catastrophe scenarios, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating.

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 wider evaluations- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, lack 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 economic sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable regional proficient personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of appropriately competent foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to offer trained workers required for continual economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The project consisted of four components: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, improved abilities training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, especially ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was rated not successful. Minimal development was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of basic education. The job was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has actually stayed basically the very same after job conclusion. The study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
dedication to establishing a committed labour info system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the job established a labour market information system, in the absence of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
