Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has just recently occurred at the University of the South Pacific's school in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This vital training was arranged 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 women 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 improving rmi national training council's water security and neighborhood strength against climate modification impacts, particularly women

and youth, guaranteeing that no one is left behind. The training invited individuals from all 24 atolls and featured resource speakers from government agencies, 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 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 building a climate-resilient nation."It is our duty to come together and interact. As we face the challenges presented by climate change, comprehending its impact on our water resources is important for improving the well-being of neighborhoods across the Marshall Islands,"she said.

RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the necessary function of females and youth in resolving climate-related difficulties."This workshop joins us from numerous communities to address the pressing issues we face today, including climate-related challenges, especially on our water resources."We want to stress the important role of women and youth in this task as your involvement is instrumental to its success and beyond, "she said.
The very first day of the workshop covered important issues related to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the effects of environment modification on water security and the disproportionate results on vulnerable groups. The significance of integrating gender equality and social addition into all job aspects was also talked about. Human rights and human trafficking were dealt with, worrying the requirement for comprehensive defense of susceptible populations

throughout emergency situations. In addition, the workshop dealt with gender-based violence, highlighting the different kinds that can occur in disaster situations, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The agenda concluded with a focus on sanitation and health and their important role in health, incomes, school participation, self-respect, and building resistant communities. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his thankfulness to all participants

, highlighting the importance of their contributions to their communities."Women and youth are essential to the success of the ACWA project. More notably, you are the champions and future leaders who will go back to your neighborhoods to empower others,"he said. During the workshop, participants went to Rongrong Island and examined the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank set up at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA job. The installation is an essential part of the task, complemented by assistance from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The check out acted as an important firsthand experience of the positive effect of the ACWA project on the community and its

Don Kobney, an ACWA website coordinator from Santo, Kwajalein, also shared his excitement."The workshop and site check out increased my confidence and understanding of the water tank setup.

By the workshop's end, participants were better equipped to understand environment modification and its regional impacts, drive adjustment and mitigation efforts, especially in water security, and use brand-new resources to impact their neighborhoods positively. ACWA is made possible thanks to the assistance 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 Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 broader evaluations- the local examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Appropriate local knowledgeable workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of properly competent foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality between readily available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to offer well-trained workers required for sustained economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job included four elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, particularly women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted progress was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The job was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has actually stayed essentially the same after task conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
dedication to establishing a committed labour details system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the job set up a labour market information system, in the absence of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
