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 school in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This important training was organized by the United Nations Development Programme( UNDP )Pacific Office through the Addressing Climate Vulnerability in the Water Sector(ACWA) job. The week-long capacity-building training aimed to empower ladies and youth with the understanding and practices needed for climate-resilient water safety management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(rmi national training council ). This training reinforces a commitment to improving RMI's water security and neighborhood durability versus environment change impacts, especially females

and youth, guaranteeing that nobody is left. The training invited individuals from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from government agencies, non-governmental organizations, 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. In her opening remarks, Secretary for the Ministry of Culture and Internal Affairs, Brenda Alik, underscored the significance of cumulative action in constructing a climate-resilient country."It is our duty to come together and interact. As we deal with the challenges positioned by environment change, understanding its impact on our water resources is necessary for improving the wellness of communities across the Marshall Islands,"she stated.

rmi national training council Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the important role of women and youth in resolving climate-related challenges."This workshop unites us from various neighborhoods to attend to the pressing concerns we deal with today, consisting of climate-related difficulties, particularly on our water resources."We want to emphasize the important role of ladies and youth in this task as your involvement contributes to its success and beyond, "she said.
The first day of the workshop covered important issues related to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the impacts of climate change on water security and the out of proportion results on susceptible groups. The value of integrating gender equality and social addition into all task aspects was likewise gone over. Human rights and human trafficking were tackled, worrying the requirement for detailed defense of vulnerable populations

during emergency situations. In addition, the workshop addressed gender-based violence, highlighting the various kinds that can emerge in catastrophe scenarios, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The agenda concluded with a focus on sanitation and health and their essential function in health, livelihoods, school participation, self-respect, and structure resilient neighborhoods. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his gratitude to all participants

, stressing the importance of their contributions to their neighborhoods."Women and youth are essential to the success of the ACWA project. More notably, you are the champs and future leaders who will go back to your communities to empower others,"he stated. Throughout the workshop, individuals visited 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. The setup is a key element of the job, complemented by support from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The see functioned as a valuable direct experience of the favorable effect of the ACWA project on the community and its

water resources. Marie Naisher from Jabat Island expressed her thankfulness for the chance to join the workshop and made clear her desire to be part of the project when it reaches Jabat.

Don Kobney, an ACWA site organizer from Santo, Kwajalein, also shared his excitement."The workshop and website see enhanced my confidence and understanding of the water tank setup.

By the workshop's end, individuals were much better geared up to understand environment modification and its regional effects, drive adaptation and mitigation efforts, particularly in water safety, and use brand-new resources to affect their neighborhoods favorably. ACWA is enabled thanks to the support of the Green Climate

Fund, with the job 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 project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two broader evaluations- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique 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, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and women in the outer islands. Ideal local knowledgeable personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of appropriately skilled foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided 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 skills training to provide trained workers needed for continual financial and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The project included 4 components: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, particularly females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was ranked not successful. Restricted development was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and might not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and trade education training system has stayed fundamentally the same after task completion. The study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to establishing a devoted labour information system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry 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 operational.
