Republic of the Marshall Islands: The 4th
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 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 women and youth with the knowledge and practices needed for climate-resilient water security management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training reinforces a dedication to improving RMI's water security and community resilience against environment change impacts, especially ladies

and youth, guaranteeing that nobody is left. The training invited individuals from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from federal government firms, non-governmental organizations, and global development 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 national training council 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 country."It is our duty to come together and work together. As we deal with the obstacles positioned by environment modification, understanding its influence on our water resources is important 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 vital function of women and youth in attending to climate-related obstacles."This workshop unifies us from different neighborhoods to resolve the pressing problems we deal with today, consisting of climate-related difficulties, particularly on our water resources."We wish to highlight the vital role of females and youth in this task as your participation contributes to its success and beyond, "she said.
The first day of the workshop covered crucial problems related 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 environment change on water security and the disproportionate effects on vulnerable groups. The value of incorporating gender equality and social addition into all job aspects was also gone over. Human rights and human trafficking were taken on, worrying the requirement for extensive protection of susceptible populations

throughout emergency situations. Furthermore, the workshop resolved gender-based violence, highlighting the numerous forms that can emerge in catastrophe circumstances, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The agenda concluded with a focus on sanitation and health and their essential function in health, incomes, school participation, dignity, and building resilient communities. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed 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 project. More significantly, you are the champions and future leaders who will return to your communities to empower others,"he said. 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 task. The setup is an essential part of the task, complemented by support from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The see acted as an important direct experience of the positive impact of the ACWA project on the community and its

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

Seeing the 15,000-gallon flatpack modular water tank firsthand offered me a clear understanding of the system, and I'm eagerly anticipating sharing this understanding with my neighborhood, "he said. By the workshop's end, individuals were better geared up to understand environment modification and its local impacts, drive adjustment and mitigation efforts, particularly in water safety, and utilize new resources to affect their neighborhoods favorably. ACWA is made possible thanks to the assistance of the Green Climate

Fund, with the project co-financed by the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 more comprehensive examinations- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Appropriate regional experienced workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of properly skilled foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to offer well-trained workers needed for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The task consisted of four parts: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the task was ranked not successful. Restricted progress was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The project was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and trade education training system has actually remained basically the very same after task conclusion. The study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a dedicated labour details system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with market demand. Although the job established a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
