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

The first day of the workshop covered vital problems related to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the effects of climate modification on water security and the out of proportion results on susceptible groups. The value of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all job aspects was likewise talked about.

During the workshop, individuals visited 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 task.

ACWA is enabled 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 job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two more comprehensive examinations- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in skills training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high amongst the youth and females in the outer islands. Ideal local skilled workers for existing task vacancies

were not available, hence the importation of appropriately competent foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to provide trained employees required for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task included four components: development of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, particularly ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the project was rated unsuccessful. Restricted development was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and trade education training system has stayed fundamentally the exact same after job completion. The study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government’s

dedication to establishing a committed labour information system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
