Republic of the Marshall Islands: The 4th
Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has recently occurred at the University of the South Pacific's campus in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This important training was organized 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 aimed to empower ladies and youth with the knowledge and practices required for climate-resilient water safety management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training strengthens a dedication to boosting RMI's water security and community durability versus environment change impacts, specifically ladies

and youth, making sure that nobody is left. The training welcomed individuals from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from federal government firms, non-governmental organizations, and international 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 https://groups.io Migration. In her opening remarks, Secretary for the Ministry of Culture and Internal Affairs, Brenda Alik, highlighted the significance of cumulative action in developing a climate-resilient country."It is our obligation to come together and interact. As we deal with the difficulties presented by environment modification, understanding its influence on our water resources is vital for enhancing the well-being of neighborhoods throughout the Marshall Islands,"she said.

RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the essential function of women and youth in attending to climate-related challenges."This workshop unifies us from various neighborhoods to deal with the pressing problems we face today, consisting of climate-related obstacles, especially on our water resources."We wish to stress the important function of ladies and youth in this job as your involvement contributes to its success and beyond, "she stated.
The very first day of the workshop covered important concerns related to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the impacts of environment modification on water security and the out of proportion impacts on susceptible groups. The significance of incorporating gender equality and social inclusion into all project aspects was likewise gone over. Human rights and human trafficking were taken on, worrying the need for thorough protection of vulnerable populations

throughout emergencies. Additionally, the workshop dealt with gender-based violence, highlighting the various forms that can develop in disaster situations, such as domestic violence and sexual coercion. The agenda concluded with a focus on sanitation and hygiene and their vital function in health, incomes, school attendance, self-respect, and building durable neighborhoods. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed his appreciation to all participants

, emphasizing the significance of their contributions to their communities."Women and youth are crucial to the success of the ACWA task. More significantly, you are the champions and future leaders who will go back to your neighborhoods to empower others,"he stated. During the workshop, individuals 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 installation is a key component of the task, complemented by assistance from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The see functioned as a valuable firsthand experience of the positive effect of the ACWA project on the community and its

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

"This was my very first time taking part in such training, and I learned so much from the visitor speakers, group activities, and the site visit. I now understand the significance of tidy water and how to sanitize it. I'm ecstatic about the ACWA project coming to Jabat and prepared to help when it arrives,"she said. Don Kobney, an ACWA site planner from Santo, Kwajalein, also shared his excitement."The workshop and site see improved my self-confidence and understanding of the water tank installation.

Seeing the 15,000-gallon flatpack modular water tank firsthand gave me a clear understanding of the system, and I'm eagerly anticipating sharing this understanding with my neighborhood, "he said. By the workshop's end, participants were better geared up to understand environment modification and its local effects, drive adaptation and mitigation efforts, particularly in water security, and use new resources to impact their communities 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 Assesses the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two broader assessments- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and ladies in the external islands. Ideal regional skilled workers for existing job vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of appropriately proficient foreign employees. Thus, 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 prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply well-trained employees required for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job included 4 elements: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, boosted abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, especially females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was rated unsuccessful. Minimal development was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and trade education training system has remained basically the exact same after job completion. The research 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 developing a devoted labour info system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task set up a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
