Republic of the Marshall Islands: The 4th
Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has just recently occurred at the University of the South Pacific's school in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This essential 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 ladies and youth with the knowledge and practices needed for climate-resilient water security management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training reinforces a commitment to improving RMI's water security and neighborhood strength versus climate change effects, particularly women

and youth, making sure that nobody is left behind. The training welcomed participants from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and global development 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 building a climate-resilient nation."It is our responsibility to come together and interact. As we deal with the challenges positioned by environment modification, understanding its impact on our water resources is necessary for enhancing the wellness of neighborhoods throughout the Marshall Islands,"she said.

rmi national training council Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the vital role of ladies and youth in addressing climate-related obstacles."This workshop unifies us from different communities to deal with the pressing concerns we deal with today, consisting of climate-related challenges, particularly on our water resources."We want to emphasize the essential role of females and youth in this task as your participation contributes to its success and beyond, "she stated.
The first day of the workshop covered crucial concerns connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the impacts of environment change on water security and the disproportionate results on susceptible groups. The significance of incorporating gender equality and social addition into all task aspects was also talked about. Human rights and human trafficking were dealt with, stressing the need for detailed security of susceptible populations

throughout emergencies. Additionally, the workshop resolved gender-based violence, highlighting the numerous forms that can emerge in disaster situations, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The agenda concluded with a focus on sanitation and health and their essential function in health, livelihoods, school participation, self-respect, and structure durable neighborhoods. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed his appreciation to all individuals

, 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 go back to your communities to empower others,"he said. Throughout the workshop, individuals visited Rongrong Island and analyzed the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank set up at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA project. The installation is an essential element of the task, complemented by assistance from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The check out served as a valuable direct experience of the positive impact of the ACWA project on the neighborhood 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 taking part in such training, and I learned so much from the guest speakers, group activities, and the website see. I now comprehend the value of tidy water and how to sanitize it. I'm ecstatic about the ACWA project coming to Jabat and prepared to help when it shows up,"she said. Don Kobney, an ACWA website coordinator from Santo, Kwajalein, also shared his enjoyment."The workshop and site check out boosted my confidence and understanding of the water tank installation.

Seeing the 15,000-gallon flatpack modular water tank firsthand offered me a clear understanding of the system, and I'm looking forward to sharing this knowledge with my neighborhood, "he said. By the workshop's end, individuals were much better geared up to understand climate modification and its regional impacts, drive adaptation and mitigation efforts, especially in water security, and use new resources to affect their neighborhoods positively. ACWA is made possible 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 Examines the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 wider assessments- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Appropriate regional proficient personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of appropriately experienced foreign employees. Hence, there was an inequality between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to provide trained workers required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job included four parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, boosted skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, especially females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was rated not successful. Limited progress was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The job 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 employment education training system has actually stayed essentially the exact same after job completion. The study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to establishing a devoted labour details system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with market need. Although the project set up a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
