Republic of the Marshall Islands: The 4th
Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has actually recently occurred at the University of the South Pacific's campus in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(rmi national training council ). This essential training was arranged by the United Nations Development Programme( UNDP )Pacific Office through the Addressing Climate Vulnerability in the Water Sector(ACWA) task. The week-long capacity-building training intended 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 enhances a dedication to boosting RMI's water security and neighborhood durability against environment modification impacts, especially women

and youth, guaranteeing that no one is left. The training invited individuals from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from government agencies, non-governmental companies, and international 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 developing a climate-resilient nation."It is our obligation to come together and interact. As we face the obstacles positioned by environment change, understanding its influence on our water resources is vital for improving the wellness of communities throughout the Marshall Islands,"she said.

RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the vital function 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, consisting of climate-related obstacles, particularly on our water resources."We want to emphasize the vital role of ladies and youth in this project as your participation is instrumental to its success and beyond, "she said.
The first day of the workshop covered important issues connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the effects of climate modification on water security and the disproportionate impacts on vulnerable groups. The value of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all task elements was likewise discussed. Human rights and human trafficking were tackled, stressing the need for extensive protection of susceptible populations

throughout emergencies. Additionally, the workshop dealt with gender-based violence, highlighting the numerous forms that can emerge in disaster situations, such as domestic violence and sexual coercion. The agenda concluded with a focus on sanitation and health and their important role in health, livelihoods, school attendance, dignity, and building resistant communities. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his gratitude to all individuals

, emphasizing the value of their contributions to their communities."Women and youth are essential to the success of the ACWA job. More notably, you are the champs and future leaders who will go back to your communities to empower others,"he stated. During the workshop, individuals went to 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 component of the task, complemented by assistance from Australia

By the workshop's end, participants were better equipped to comprehend climate change and its regional effects, drive adjustment and mitigation efforts, especially in water safety, and utilize brand-new resources to impact their communities favorably. ACWA is enabled 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 Examines the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 wider assessments- the regional evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Appropriate local skilled workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of properly experienced foreign workers. Hence, there was a mismatch between available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative 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 abilities training to provide trained workers needed for continual financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The job consisted of four elements: development of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the project was rated not successful. Limited development was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The job was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has remained basically the exact same after job completion. The research study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
dedication to developing a dedicated labour information system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project set up a labour market details system, in the lack of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
