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 organized 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 aimed to empower ladies and youth with the understanding and practices required for climate-resilient water safety management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training enhances a commitment to boosting RMI's water security and community strength versus climate modification effects, specifically females
and youth, ensuring that no one is left. The training invited participants from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from federal government firms, non-governmental organizations, and international 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.

The very first day of the workshop covered important problems connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the effects of climate modification on water security and the out of proportion effects on susceptible groups. The importance of integrating gender equality and social addition into all task elements was likewise talked about.

Throughout the workshop, participants checked out Rongrong Island and analyzed the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank set up 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 project co-financed by the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands
. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two wider examinations- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the special examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills 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. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Ideal regional competent personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality in between available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply trained workers needed for continual economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task included four parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, specifically females and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was rated not successful. Restricted progress was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The job 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 vocational education training system has remained essentially the very same after project completion. The study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a devoted labour info system to connect technical and employment education training program offerings with market demand. Although the job set up a labour market information system, in the lack of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
