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 happened at the University of the South Pacific's school in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This crucial 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 understanding and practices required for climate-resilient water security management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training strengthens a commitment to enhancing RMI's water security and community strength versus climate modification effects, especially women

and youth, making sure that nobody is left behind. The training invited participants from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from federal 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, underscored the significance of cumulative action in constructing a climate-resilient country."It is our obligation to come together and interact. As we deal with the challenges postured by environment change, understanding its influence on our water resources is essential for improving the wellness of communities throughout the Marshall Islands,"she stated.

RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the vital function of women and youth in attending to climate-related obstacles."This workshop unites us from different neighborhoods to deal with the pressing problems we face today, consisting of climate-related obstacles, especially on our water resources."We wish to emphasize the essential function of women and youth in this job as your involvement 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 included conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the effects of environment change on water security and the disproportionate results on susceptible groups. The significance of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all job aspects was also discussed. Human rights and human trafficking were tackled, worrying the requirement for comprehensive security of vulnerable populations

throughout emergencies. In addition, the workshop resolved gender-based violence, highlighting the various kinds that can occur in disaster circumstances, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The agenda concluded with a focus on sanitation and health and their vital role in health, livelihoods, school participation, dignity, and building durable communities. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed his gratitude to all individuals

, stressing the significance of their contributions to their neighborhoods."Women and youth are crucial to the success of the ACWA job. More significantly, you are the champs and future leaders who will go back to your neighborhoods to empower others,"he said. During the workshop, participants went to Rongrong Island and examined 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 a crucial element of the project, matched by support from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The visit functioned as an important firsthand experience of the favorable impact of the ACWA project on the community and its

water resources. Marie Naisher from Jabat Island expressed her thankfulness for the chance to sign up with 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 so much from the guest speakers, group activities, and the site check out. I now comprehend the importance of tidy water and how to sterilize it. I'm fired up about the ACWA task coming to Jabat and all set to help when it gets here,"she stated. Don Kobney, an ACWA website planner from Santo, Kwajalein, likewise shared his enjoyment."The workshop and site see enhanced my self-confidence and understanding of the water tank installation.

Seeing the 15,000-gallon flatpack modular water tank firsthand provided me a clear understanding of the system, and I'm eagerly anticipating sharing this knowledge with my community, "he said. By the workshop's end, individuals were much better geared up to understand environment change and its local impacts, drive adaptation and mitigation efforts, particularly in water safety, and make use of new resources to affect their communities positively. ACWA is made possible thanks to the support 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 Assesses the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two broader assessments- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and females in the external islands. Appropriate local knowledgeable personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch in between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to provide well-trained workers needed for sustained economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The task included 4 components: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Limited development 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 proficiencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or going to voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of fundamental 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 professional education training system has actually remained essentially the same after project conclusion. The study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a dedicated labour information system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with market need. Although the project set up a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
