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 ). This essential training was organized 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 intended to empower women and youth with the understanding and practices needed for climate-resilient water security management in the

The first day of the workshop covered critical problems connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the effects of climate modification on water security and the out of proportion effects on vulnerable groups. The importance of incorporating gender equality and social inclusion into all job aspects was also gone over.

Throughout the workshop, participants checked out Rongrong Island and analyzed the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank installed at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA job.

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 Assesses the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 wider examinations- the regional evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the employment and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and females in the outer islands. Suitable regional proficient personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between available 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 employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to offer trained employees needed for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job included 4 elements: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, boosted abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was rated unsuccessful. Minimal development was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of basic education. The task was supply-driven and could not establish 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 stayed fundamentally the exact same after project completion. The research study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to establishing a devoted labour information system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task set up a labour market details system, in the absence of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
