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) project. The week-long capacity-building training intended 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 neighborhood strength against climate modification effects, especially women

and youth, ensuring that nobody is left behind. The training invited individuals from all 24 atolls and featured resource speakers from federal government firms, non-governmental companies, and worldwide 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 crucial issues connected 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 environment modification on water security and the out of proportion impacts on susceptible groups. The importance of incorporating gender equality and social inclusion into all project elements was also discussed.

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 wider evaluations- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of standard education, lack 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 unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Appropriate regional knowledgeable personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch in between available 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 employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to provide well-trained employees needed for continual economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The project included four elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, especially ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was ranked not successful. Limited progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and could 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 occupation education training system has actually remained basically the very same after task conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to establishing a committed labour details system to connect technical and occupation education training program offerings with market demand. Although the project set up a labour market information system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
