Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has recently taken place at the University of the South Pacific's campus in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ).

The week-long capacity-building training aimed to empower women and youth with the knowledge and practices needed for climate-resilient water safety management in the

The first day of the workshop covered crucial problems related to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands.

The value of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all task elements was likewise gone over.

Throughout 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.

ACWA is enabled thanks to the support 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 Examines the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 more comprehensive evaluations- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and women in the external islands. Ideal local proficient personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of appropriately skilled foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch between readily available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative 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 skills training to offer well-trained workers needed for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The project consisted of 4 elements: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, improved abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and work for students, specifically women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal development was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
among 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 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 remained essentially the exact same after project conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a devoted labour information system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the lack of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.vtc.edu.hk
