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 just recently taken place at the University of the South Pacific's campus in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This vital 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 females and youth with the knowledge and practices required for climate-resilient water safety management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training strengthens a commitment to improving RMI's water security and neighborhood strength against environment modification impacts, specifically ladies
and youth, ensuring that no one is left behind. The training welcomed individuals from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from federal government companies, non-governmental companies, and worldwide development 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. In her opening remarks, Secretary for the Ministry of Culture and Internal Affairs, Brenda Alik, highlighted the significance of cumulative action in constructing a climate-resilient country."It is our duty to come together and collaborate. As we face the difficulties positioned by climate change, understanding its influence on our water resources is vital for enhancing the wellness of communities across the Marshall Islands,"she said.

The very first day of the workshop covered important issues connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the effects of climate modification on water security and the out of proportion impacts on vulnerable groups. The significance of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all job elements was likewise talked about. Human rights and human trafficking were tackled, worrying the requirement for detailed security of vulnerable populations
during emergency situations. Additionally, the workshop attended to gender-based violence, highlighting the different kinds that can emerge in disaster scenarios, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The program concluded with a focus on sanitation and hygiene and their essential role in health, livelihoods, school attendance, dignity, and structure resistant communities. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his appreciation to all participants
, emphasizing the importance of their contributions to their neighborhoods."Women and youth are key to the success of the ACWA job. More notably, you are the champs and future leaders who will go back to your neighborhoods to empower others,"he said. During the workshop, participants visited Rongrong Island and took a look at the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank installed at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA task. The installation is a key part of the project, matched by assistance from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The see acted as a valuable firsthand experience of the positive impact of the ACWA project on the community and its

By the workshop's end, participants were much better equipped to understand climate change and its regional effects, drive adjustment and mitigation efforts, particularly in water security, and utilize brand-new resources to impact their communities 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 Examines the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 wider assessments- the regional evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Ideal regional experienced personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of properly experienced foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality in between available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied 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 supply well-trained employees needed for sustained economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The project included 4 parts: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, improved skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was rated not successful. Minimal development was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in 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 requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and trade education training system has actually stayed basically the exact same after job completion. 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 federal government's
commitment to developing a committed labour details system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project established a labour market details system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
