Republic of the Marshall Islands: The fourth
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 ). This vital training was organized 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 women and youth with the knowledge and practices needed for climate-resilient water security management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training enhances a commitment to boosting rmi national training council's water security and neighborhood durability versus environment modification impacts, particularly ladies

and youth, ensuring that no one is left behind. The training invited individuals from all 24 atolls and featured resource speakers from federal government companies, 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 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 collective action in developing a climate-resilient country."It is our responsibility to come together and collaborate. As we deal with the challenges presented by environment change, understanding its influence on our water resources is essential for enhancing the well-being of neighborhoods across the Marshall Islands,"she stated.

RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the necessary role of ladies and youth in addressing climate-related difficulties."This workshop unifies us from different neighborhoods to deal with the pressing concerns we face today, including climate-related challenges, particularly on our water resources."We want to emphasize the essential role of women and youth in this project as your involvement is instrumental to its success and beyond, "she stated.
The very first day of the workshop covered crucial concerns related to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the effects of climate change on water security and the disproportionate effects on susceptible groups. The value of incorporating gender equality and social addition into all job aspects was also discussed. Human rights and human trafficking were taken on, stressing the requirement for comprehensive defense of vulnerable populations

during emergency situations. In addition, the workshop addressed gender-based violence, highlighting the various types that can develop in disaster situations, such as domestic violence and sexual coercion. The agenda concluded with a concentrate on sanitation and hygiene and their essential function in health, livelihoods, school attendance, self-respect, and building resistant communities. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed his gratitude to all individuals

, stressing the value of their contributions to their neighborhoods."Women and youth are crucial to the success of the ACWA task. More significantly, you are the champs and future leaders who will go back to your neighborhoods to empower others,"he stated. During the workshop, individuals went to 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 key component of the project, matched by assistance from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The see acted as a valuable direct experience of the positive effect of the ACWA job on the community and its

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

"This was my first time taking part in such training, and I discovered so much from the guest speakers, group activities, and the site see. I now understand the importance of clean water and how to sterilize it. I'm excited about the ACWA project coming to Jabat and all set to help when it shows up,"she stated. Don Kobney, an ACWA site planner from Santo, Kwajalein, likewise shared his enjoyment."The workshop and website go to enhanced my self-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, individuals were much better geared up to understand climate change and its local impacts, drive adjustment and mitigation efforts, particularly in water security, and utilize brand-new resources to affect their communities positively. ACWA is enabled thanks to the assistance 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 efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two wider assessments- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities 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 ladies in the outer islands. Appropriate local experienced personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of properly skilled foreign workers. Hence, there was a mismatch in between offered tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply trained workers required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The project consisted of four components: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, especially ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task 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 weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The project was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with private 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 remained basically the same after job completion. The research study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
dedication to developing a devoted labour details system to connect technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project set up a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
