Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has recently occurred at the University of the South Pacific's school 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 aimed to empower women and youth with the knowledge and practices required for climate-resilient water safety management in the

The first day of the workshop covered critical issues related to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands.

The significance of incorporating gender equality and social inclusion into all task elements was likewise discussed.

during emergencies. In addition, the workshop resolved gender-based violence, highlighting the various forms that can emerge in disaster circumstances, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating.

ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his appreciation to all individuals

, emphasizing the importance of their contributions to their neighborhoods."Women and youth are key to the success of the ACWA job.

Throughout the workshop, participants checked out Rongrong Island and examined the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank set up at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA task.

ACWA is made possible thanks to the support of the Green Climate

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 wider examinations- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high amongst the youth and females in the external islands. Suitable local experienced personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of properly experienced foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch in between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply trained employees needed for sustained economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The job included 4 components: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, improved skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, particularly ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was rated unsuccessful. Limited progress was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or going to voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The project was supply-driven and might not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has actually remained fundamentally the same after task conclusion. The research 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 committed labour details system to connect technical and employment education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task set up a labour market info system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
