Republic of the Marshall Islands: The 4th
Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has actually recently happened at the University of the South Pacific's school 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) task. The week-long capacity-building training intended to empower women and youth with the knowledge and practices needed for climate-resilient water safety management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training strengthens a dedication to enhancing RMI's water security and neighborhood strength against climate change impacts, particularly ladies

and youth, making sure that no one is left behind. The training invited participants from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from government agencies, non-governmental organizations, 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.

The first day of the workshop covered critical issues related 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 climate change on water security and the disproportionate effects on vulnerable groups. The importance of integrating gender equality and social addition into all project elements was likewise talked about. Human rights and human trafficking were dealt with, stressing the requirement for comprehensive security of vulnerable populations

during emergency situations. In addition, the workshop attended to gender-based violence, highlighting the different kinds that can arise in disaster circumstances, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The program concluded with a focus on sanitation and health and their important function in health, livelihoods, school presence, dignity, and structure durable neighborhoods. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his appreciation to all participants

, stressing the importance of their contributions to their communities."Women and youth are crucial to the success of the ACWA job.

Throughout the workshop, individuals 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.

By the workshop's end, individuals were much better geared up to comprehend climate change and its regional effects, drive adjustment and mitigation efforts, especially in water safety, and use brand-new resources to affect their communities favorably. ACWA is made possible thanks to the assistance 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 Evaluates the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 wider evaluations- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and ladies in the external islands. Suitable regional skilled personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of appropriately experienced foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality in between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to provide trained employees needed for continual economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The project consisted of four elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved skills training chances for ladies 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 task was rated not successful. Minimal development was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has actually remained basically the very same after job conclusion. The study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to establishing a devoted labour information system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with market demand. Although the task set up a labour market information system, in the absence of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
