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 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) task. The week-long capacity-building training aimed to empower females and youth with the understanding and practices required for climate-resilient water security management in the

Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training strengthens a commitment to improving RMI’s water security and neighborhood resilience versus climate modification impacts, specifically ladies

and youth, making sure that nobody is left behind. The training invited individuals from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from federal government agencies, non-governmental companies, and worldwide 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, underscored the significance of collective action in developing a climate-resilient nation.”It is our obligation to come together and work together. As we face the obstacles posed by climate modification, understanding its effect on our water resources is vital for improving the wellness of neighborhoods across the Marshall Islands,”she said.

RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the vital role of females and youth in addressing climate-related difficulties.”This workshop joins us from numerous neighborhoods to attend to the pressing issues we deal with today, consisting of climate-related obstacles, particularly on our water resources.”We want to emphasize the crucial function of ladies and youth in this project as your involvement contributes to its success and beyond, “she stated.

The first day of the workshop covered crucial issues associated with gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the impacts of climate change on water security and the disproportionate impacts on susceptible groups. The significance of integrating gender equality and social addition into all job aspects was likewise talked about. Human rights and human trafficking were tackled, stressing the requirement for comprehensive security of susceptible populations

throughout emergency situations. Additionally, the workshop dealt with gender-based violence, highlighting the different types that can develop in disaster circumstances, such as domestic violence and sexual coercion. The program concluded with a focus on sanitation and health and their important role in health, livelihoods, school presence, dignity, and building durable communities. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed his appreciation to all individuals

, highlighting the importance of their contributions to their communities.”Women and youth are key to the success of the ACWA task. 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 went to Rongrong Island and analyzed the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank installed at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA job. The setup is a key element of the job, matched by assistance from Australia

‘s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The visit functioned as an important firsthand experience of the positive effect of the ACWA task on the community and its

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

“This was my very first time participating in such training, and I found out a lot from the visitor speakers, group activities, and the site visit.

Don Kobney, an ACWA site organizer from Santo, Kwajalein, also shared his excitement.”The workshop and website see improved my confidence and understanding of the water tank setup.

Seeing the 15,000-gallon flatpack modular water tank firsthand gave me a clear understanding of the system, and I’m looking forward to sharing this knowledge with my community, “he said. By the workshop’s end, participants were much better geared up to understand environment change and its regional impacts, drive adjustment and mitigation efforts, particularly in water safety, and utilize brand-new resources to impact their communities positively. ACWA is made possible thanks to the assistance of the Green Climate

Fund, with the job 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 job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two broader examinations- the regional assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of fundamental 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 unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high amongst the youth and women in the external islands. Appropriate local proficient workers for existing job vacancies

were not available, hence the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality in between offered tasks and skills 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 improve skills training to provide trained employees required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The task included 4 elements: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, especially women and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was rated unsuccessful. Minimal 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 elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The task 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 occupation education training system has stayed essentially the very same after project completion. The study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government’s

dedication to developing a devoted labour info system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with market demand. Although the task established a labour market information system, in the lack of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
