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 happened at the University of the South Pacific's campus in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This crucial training was arranged 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
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training reinforces a commitment to improving RMI's water security and community resilience against environment modification impacts, particularly ladies

and youth, ensuring that nobody is left behind. The training invited individuals from all 24 atolls and featured resource speakers from federal government agencies, non-governmental companies, and international development 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 responsibility to come together and collaborate. As we face the challenges positioned by climate modification, comprehending its effect on our water resources is essential for improving the wellness of neighborhoods across the Marshall Islands,"she stated.

RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the essential function of females and youth in dealing with climate-related obstacles."This workshop unifies us from numerous neighborhoods to resolve the pressing concerns we deal with today, including climate-related obstacles, particularly on our water resources."We want to stress the crucial role of ladies and youth in this job as your involvement is instrumental to its success and beyond, "she said.
The first day of the workshop covered vital concerns associated with gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the effects of environment change on water security and the disproportionate results on vulnerable groups. The value of incorporating gender equality and social addition into all task aspects was also discussed. Human rights and human trafficking were dealt with, worrying the requirement for comprehensive protection of vulnerable populations

throughout emergency situations. In addition, the workshop dealt with gender-based violence, highlighting the various kinds that can emerge in catastrophe situations, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The program concluded with a focus on sanitation and hygiene and their essential role in health, incomes, school participation, self-respect, and structure resistant communities. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his gratitude to all participants

, stressing the significance of their contributions to their neighborhoods."Women and youth are essential to the success of the ACWA project. More importantly, you are the champs and future leaders who will return to your neighborhoods to empower others,"he said. During the workshop, participants checked out Rongrong Island and took a look at the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank set up at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA task. The installation is a key element of the job, complemented by support from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The see acted as a valuable firsthand experience of the favorable effect of the ACWA job on the community and its

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

By the workshop's end, participants were better equipped to comprehend climate modification and its regional effects, drive adaptation and mitigation efforts, particularly in water security, and use brand-new resources to impact their communities favorably. ACWA is made possible 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 Examines the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two wider evaluations- the local examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the special evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities 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. Unemployment was specifically high amongst the youth and females in the external islands. Suitable regional proficient personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of appropriately skilled foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between offered jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort 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 enhance abilities training to offer trained employees needed for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The project included 4 elements: development of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced skills training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for students, especially ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was rated unsuccessful. Restricted development was achieved in making the job 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 entering college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The job 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 remained fundamentally the very same after job completion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to developing a dedicated labour details system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task set up a labour market details system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
