Republic of the Marshall Islands: The 4th
Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has actually just recently occurred at the University of the South Pacific's school in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(rmi national training council ). This important 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 aimed to empower females 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 dedication to boosting RMI's water security and neighborhood durability against environment modification effects, particularly women

and youth, making sure that nobody is left. The training welcomed participants from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from government agencies, non-governmental companies, and worldwide development partners from the rmi national training council 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 national training council 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 responsibility to come together and interact. As we deal with the difficulties presented by climate change, understanding its effect on our water resources is important for improving the well-being of neighborhoods throughout the Marshall Islands,"she stated.

RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the essential role of women and youth in dealing with climate-related difficulties."This workshop unifies us from various communities to address the pressing concerns we face today, including climate-related challenges, particularly on our water resources."We wish to stress the important role of females and youth in this job as your involvement contributes to its success and beyond, "she stated.
The first day of the workshop covered crucial problems connected 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 climate change on water security and the disproportionate impacts on susceptible groups. The importance of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all project aspects was also discussed. Human rights and human trafficking were tackled, stressing the requirement for extensive security of vulnerable populations

during emergency situations. Furthermore, the workshop addressed gender-based violence, highlighting the different kinds that can develop in catastrophe circumstances, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The program concluded with a concentrate on sanitation and health and their important role in health, incomes, school presence, self-respect, and building resilient communities. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed his thankfulness to all participants

, emphasizing the importance of their contributions to their communities."Women and youth are key to the success of the ACWA job. More significantly, you are the champs and future leaders who will return to your neighborhoods to empower others,"he stated. During the workshop, participants checked out Rongrong Island and analyzed the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank installed at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA task. The installation is a crucial part of the task, complemented by assistance from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The see served as a valuable direct experience of the positive effect of the ACWA task on the neighborhood and its

water resources. Marie Naisher from Jabat Island revealed her gratitude for the opportunity to join the workshop and made clear her desire to be part of the job when it reaches Jabat.

"This was my first time participating in such training, and I learned a lot from the visitor speakers, group activities, and the site see. I now understand the value of tidy water and how to sanitize it. I'm fired up about the ACWA project pertaining to Jabat and all set to assist when it arrives,"she said. Don Kobney, an ACWA site coordinator from Santo, Kwajalein, also shared his enjoyment."The workshop and website check out enhanced my confidence and understanding of the water tank setup.

Seeing the 15,000-gallon flatpack modular water tank firsthand gave me a clear understanding of the system, and I'm anticipating sharing this knowledge with my neighborhood, "he stated. By the workshop's end, participants were better geared up to comprehend environment change and its regional impacts, drive adjustment and mitigation efforts, particularly in water safety, and utilize new resources to affect their neighborhoods favorably. 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 Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive evaluations- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in skills training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Ideal regional experienced personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of appropriately skilled foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch between readily available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to offer well-trained workers required for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national abilities training system. The project consisted of 4 components: development of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, improved abilities training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and work for students, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was rated not successful. Minimal development was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of basic education. The job was supply-driven and might 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 vocational education training system has stayed basically the same after project completion. The research study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
dedication to developing a devoted labour information system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with market need. Although the job set up a labour market info system, in the lack of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
