Republic of the Marshall Islands: The fourth
Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has actually recently happened at the University of the South Pacific's school in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(rmi national training council ). This important 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 ladies and youth with the knowledge and practices needed for climate-resilient water safety management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training strengthens a commitment to boosting rmi national training council's water security and neighborhood durability against environment modification effects, particularly females

and youth, making sure that nobody is left. The training invited participants from all 24 atolls and featured resource speakers from government companies, non-governmental organizations, and global 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 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 cumulative action in constructing a climate-resilient nation."It is our duty to come together and collaborate. As we deal with the obstacles postured by climate modification, understanding its influence on our water resources is vital for improving the well-being of neighborhoods throughout the Marshall Islands,"she said.

rmi national training council 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 joins us from different communities to resolve the pressing concerns we deal with today, including climate-related difficulties, especially on our water resources."We wish to stress the vital function of women and youth in this project as your participation is instrumental to its success and beyond, "she stated.
The very first day of the workshop covered crucial issues related to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the impacts of climate modification on water security and the disproportionate effects on vulnerable groups. The significance of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all job aspects was also gone over. Human rights and human trafficking were tackled, worrying the requirement for comprehensive security of vulnerable populations

during emergency situations. Furthermore, the workshop dealt with gender-based violence, highlighting the different forms that can occur in disaster circumstances, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The agenda concluded with a focus on sanitation and hygiene and their crucial function in health, incomes, school attendance, self-respect, and building resilient neighborhoods. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed his appreciation to all individuals

, emphasizing the importance of their contributions to their neighborhoods."Women and youth are essential to the success of the ACWA project. More notably, you are the champs and future leaders who will return to your communities to empower others,"he said. During the workshop, individuals checked out 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 project. The installation is a crucial part of the project, matched by support from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The check out functioned as an important firsthand experience of the positive impact of the ACWA job on the neighborhood and its

water resources. Marie Naisher from Jabat Island expressed her gratitude for the chance to sign up with the workshop and explained her desire to be part of the task when it reaches Jabat.

"This was my very first time taking part in such training, and I found out so much from the visitor speakers, group activities, and the website see. I now understand the significance of tidy water and how to sanitize it. I'm ecstatic about the ACWA project coming to Jabat and prepared to assist when it arrives,"she said. Don Kobney, an ACWA website organizer from Santo, Kwajalein, likewise shared his excitement."The workshop and website check out boosted 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, participants were much better equipped to comprehend climate modification and its regional impacts, drive adaptation and mitigation efforts, especially in water security, and make use of new resources to affect their neighborhoods favorably. 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 efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two broader evaluations- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Ideal local experienced workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of properly experienced foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality in between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply trained employees needed for continual economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The job consisted of 4 components: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, particularly females and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal development was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending 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 needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has actually remained essentially the very same after project completion. The study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a committed labour info system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project set up a labour market info system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
