This crucial 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 intended to empower ladies 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 dedication to enhancing RMI’s water security and community resilience versus climate modification effects, particularly ladies

The very first day of the workshop covered vital concerns connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the effects of climate change on water security and the disproportionate results on vulnerable groups. The value of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all project elements was likewise gone over.

during emergency situations. In addition, the workshop dealt with gender-based violence, highlighting the numerous types that can occur in disaster situations, such as domestic violence and sexual coercion.

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 Examines the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two more comprehensive examinations- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high amongst the youth and ladies in the external islands. Ideal regional experienced workers for existing job vacancies

were not available, thus the importation of properly competent foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to supply trained workers required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job included 4 components: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was ranked not successful. Minimal development was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or going to voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and might not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has remained essentially the very same after task completion. The study advanced 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 establishing a committed labour info system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with market need. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
