Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has actually recently occurred at the University of the South Pacific's campus in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This essential training was organized 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 understanding and practices needed for climate-resilient water security management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training strengthens a dedication to boosting RMI's water security and neighborhood resilience against climate change effects, specifically women

The first day of the workshop covered critical concerns connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands.

ACWA is made possible thanks to the support of the Green Climate

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two wider assessments- the local examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and women in the external islands. Ideal regional proficient personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately experienced foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to supply well-trained workers needed for continual financial and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The task included four components: development of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, specifically women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has remained fundamentally the very same after job completion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
dedication to developing a dedicated labour details system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with market need. Although the job established a labour market info system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
