Republic of the Marshall Islands: The fourth

Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has just recently happened at the University of the South Pacific's school in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This vital 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 ladies and youth with the knowledge and practices needed for climate-resilient water safety management in the

Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training strengthens a commitment to improving RMI's water security and community resilience against climate modification effects, especially females

and youth, guaranteeing that nobody is left. The training invited individuals from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from government agencies, non-governmental companies, and global advancement partners from the RMI 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 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 constructing a climate-resilient nation."It is our obligation to come together and collaborate. As we deal with the challenges postured by environment change, understanding its effect on our water resources is vital for improving the well-being of neighborhoods throughout the Marshall Islands,"she said.

RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the necessary function of ladies and youth in resolving climate-related obstacles."This workshop joins us from various neighborhoods to resolve the pressing issues we face today, consisting of climate-related obstacles, particularly on our water resources."We want to emphasize the vital role of females and youth in this job as your participation is instrumental to its success and beyond, "she stated.

The first day of the workshop covered important issues related to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the effects of environment change on water security and the out of proportion impacts on susceptible groups. The value of integrating gender equality and social addition into all task aspects was also talked about. Human rights and human trafficking were tackled, worrying the requirement for comprehensive protection of vulnerable populations

throughout emergencies. Furthermore, the workshop addressed gender-based violence, highlighting the different forms that can occur in catastrophe situations, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The program concluded with a focus on sanitation and hygiene and their important role in health, incomes, school presence, dignity, and building resistant neighborhoods. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed his thankfulness to all participants

, emphasizing the value of their contributions to their neighborhoods."Women and youth are key to the success of the ACWA project. More notably, you are the champs and future leaders who will return to your communities to empower others,"he said. 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 project. The setup is an essential part of the job, matched by assistance from Australia

's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The check out acted as a valuable firsthand experience of the favorable impact of the ACWA job on the neighborhood and its

water resources. Marie Naisher from Jabat Island revealed her gratitude for the chance to sign up with the workshop and made clear her desire to be part of the project when it reaches Jabat.

By the workshop's end, participants were much better equipped to comprehend environment modification and its regional effects, drive adaptation and mitigation efforts, especially in water security, and utilize brand-new resources to affect their neighborhoods favorably. ACWA is made possible thanks to the assistance 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 Assesses the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two more comprehensive evaluations- the local examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and females in the external islands. Ideal local knowledgeable personnel for existing task vacancies

were unavailable, hence the importation of appropriately competent foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch in between offered jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to offer well-trained employees needed for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project consisted of four elements: development of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, especially females and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was ranked not successful. Minimal progress was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies

among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has actually stayed fundamentally the exact same after job conclusion. The study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's

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