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 crucial 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 intended to empower women 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 commitment to enhancing RMI's water security and community resilience against environment change impacts, particularly ladies

ACWA is enabled thanks to the support of the Green Climate

Fund, with the project 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 project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 wider examinations- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Suitable regional experienced personnel for existing task vacancies

were unavailable, hence the importation of properly skilled foreign employees. Hence, there was an inequality in between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to offer trained workers needed for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The project consisted of 4 elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, especially ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was rated unsuccessful. Restricted progress was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has actually remained fundamentally the very same after project completion. The research study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's

dedication to establishing a committed labour details system to connect technical and trade 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.
