Republic of the Marshall Islands: The fourth
Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has just recently taken place at the University of the South Pacific's school in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This crucial 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 females and youth with the knowledge and practices required for climate-resilient water security management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training enhances a dedication to boosting rmi national training council's water security and neighborhood durability versus environment modification impacts, particularly women

and youth, making sure that nobody is left. The training welcomed participants from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from government agencies, non-governmental companies, and global 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, highlighted the significance of collective action in building a climate-resilient nation."It is our responsibility to come together and work together. As we face the obstacles positioned by climate modification, understanding its influence on our water resources is necessary for improving the well-being of communities across the Marshall Islands,"she said.

RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the necessary role of ladies and youth in dealing with climate-related obstacles."This workshop unites us from numerous neighborhoods to deal with the pressing concerns we face today, including climate-related challenges, especially on our water resources."We wish to emphasize the important role of females and youth in this project as your involvement contributes to its success and beyond, "she said.
The very first day of the workshop covered critical concerns related to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the effects of climate modification on water security and the out of proportion results on susceptible groups. The value of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all project aspects was likewise discussed. Human rights and human trafficking were dealt with, worrying the need for extensive security of vulnerable populations

throughout emergency situations. Furthermore, the workshop resolved gender-based violence, highlighting the numerous types that can occur in catastrophe circumstances, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The agenda concluded with a concentrate on sanitation and hygiene and their important role in health, incomes, school presence, self-respect, and building resistant communities. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his thankfulness to all individuals

, emphasizing the importance of their contributions to their neighborhoods."Women and youth are crucial to the success of the ACWA job. More importantly, 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 an essential element of the project, matched by assistance from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The check out served as a valuable direct experience of the favorable impact of the ACWA task on the neighborhood and its

water resources. Marie Naisher from Jabat Island revealed her thankfulness for the opportunity to sign up with the workshop and explained her desire to be part of the task when it reaches Jabat.

Don Kobney, an ACWA site planner from Santo, Kwajalein, also shared his enjoyment."The workshop and website visit increased my confidence and understanding of the water tank installation.

Seeing the 15,000-gallon flatpack modular water tank firsthand gave me a clear understanding of the system, and I'm anticipating sharing this knowledge with my community, "he stated. By the workshop's end, participants were much better equipped to understand climate change and its regional impacts, drive adaptation and mitigation efforts, especially in water security, and use brand-new resources to impact their neighborhoods favorably. ACWA is made possible thanks to the support 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 project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 broader evaluations- the regional evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of standard education, absence 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 development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high amongst the youth and women in the outer islands. Suitable local skilled workers for existing job vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of properly competent foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch in between available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to provide well-trained employees required for continual economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The task included four components: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted abilities training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, particularly ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was rated not successful. Restricted progress was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
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 standard education. The project was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has remained fundamentally the exact same after project completion. The research study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a committed labour details system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry need. Although the job set up a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
