Republic of the Marshall Islands: The 4th
Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has recently happened at the University of the South Pacific's school in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(rmi national training council ). This vital 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 aimed to empower ladies and youth with the understanding and practices needed for climate-resilient water security management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training reinforces a dedication to improving RMI's water security and neighborhood durability versus climate modification effects, particularly women

The very first day of the workshop covered critical concerns associated with gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands.

ACWA is enabled thanks to the assistance of the Green Climate

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two more comprehensive evaluations- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the occupation and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Ideal local proficient personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of appropriately proficient foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch 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 professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to offer trained workers required for continual economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The project consisted of four elements: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, improved skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, specifically females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was rated not successful. Limited progress was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly 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 employment education training system has stayed essentially the same after task conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a devoted labour details system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with market need. Although the job set up a labour market info system, in the absence of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
