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 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 required for climate-resilient water safety management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training reinforces a commitment to boosting RMI's water security and community resilience against climate change impacts, specifically ladies

and youth, guaranteeing that no one is left. The training invited participants from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from government companies, non-governmental companies, and international advancement partners from the rmi national training council 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, highlighted the significance of collective action in developing a climate-resilient nation."It is our responsibility to come together and work together. As we face the obstacles presented by environment change, understanding its influence on our water resources is important for enhancing the wellness of neighborhoods throughout the Marshall Islands,"she stated.

RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the important function of females and youth in dealing with climate-related challenges."This workshop joins us from various neighborhoods to attend to the pressing issues we deal with today, consisting of climate-related obstacles, especially on our water resources."We want to highlight the crucial role of females and youth in this job as your participation contributes to its success and beyond, "she said.
The first day of the workshop covered critical problems connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the effects of climate change on water security and the out of proportion impacts on susceptible groups. The significance of integrating gender equality and social addition into all job elements was also discussed. Human rights and human trafficking were taken on, worrying the need for extensive protection of susceptible populations

throughout emergencies. In addition, the workshop addressed gender-based violence, highlighting the various forms that can occur in disaster situations, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The agenda concluded with a focus on sanitation and health and their important function in health, livelihoods, school presence, self-respect, and structure resilient neighborhoods. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his appreciation to all individuals

, stressing the significance of their contributions to their neighborhoods."Women and youth are key to the success of the ACWA task. More notably, you are the champions and future leaders who will return to your communities to empower others,"he said. During the workshop, individuals went to 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 project. The setup is a crucial component of the task, complemented by assistance from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The see acted as an important firsthand experience of the positive effect of the ACWA job on the community and its

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

By the workshop's end, participants were better equipped to understand environment change and its regional impacts, drive adjustment and mitigation efforts, especially in water security, and make use of new resources to affect their communities positively. ACWA is enabled 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 Assesses the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive examinations- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly 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 trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and ladies in the external islands. Appropriate local knowledgeable workers for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately experienced foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to offer trained employees needed for continual economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The project consisted of four parts: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted abilities training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, especially women and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal development was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has stayed basically the very same after job conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a devoted labour information system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with market need. Although the job set up a labour market information system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
