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 occurred at the University of the South Pacific's school in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(rmi national training council ). This important training was organized by the United Nations Development Programme( UNDP )Pacific Office through the Addressing Climate Vulnerability in the Water Sector(ACWA) task. The week-long capacity-building training intended to empower females and youth with the knowledge and practices needed for climate-resilient water safety management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training enhances a dedication to improving rmi national training council's water security and community resilience versus environment modification impacts, specifically ladies

and youth, guaranteeing that nobody is left behind. The training invited individuals from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and international 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 national training council 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 building a climate-resilient country."It is our obligation to come together and interact. As we deal with the difficulties posed by climate modification, comprehending its impact on our water resources is essential for enhancing the wellness of neighborhoods across 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 resolving climate-related difficulties."This workshop unites us from various communities to resolve the pressing problems we deal with today, consisting of climate-related difficulties, especially on our water resources."We wish to stress the crucial function of women and youth in this project as your participation is instrumental to its success and beyond, "she stated.
The very first day of the workshop covered vital concerns associated with gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the effects of climate change on water security and the disproportionate impacts on susceptible groups. The value of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all task elements was likewise talked about. Human rights and human trafficking were tackled, stressing the requirement for extensive defense of susceptible populations

during emergencies. In addition, the workshop attended to gender-based violence, highlighting the various forms that can arise in disaster situations, such as domestic violence and sexual coercion. The agenda concluded with a focus on sanitation and health and their crucial function in health, livelihoods, school presence, dignity, and structure resistant neighborhoods. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed his gratitude to all individuals

, stressing the value of their contributions to their neighborhoods."Women and youth are essential to the success of the ACWA task. More importantly, you are the champs and future leaders who will return to your communities to empower others,"he stated. Throughout the workshop, individuals checked out 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 setup is an essential part of the project, matched by support from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The visit served as a valuable firsthand experience of the positive impact of the ACWA task on the neighborhood 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 participating in such training, and I discovered so much from the visitor speakers, group activities, and the website go to.

Don Kobney, an ACWA website organizer from Santo, Kwajalein, also shared his enjoyment."The workshop and website go to boosted my confidence and understanding of the water tank setup.

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 understanding with my neighborhood, "he stated. By the workshop's end, individuals were much better geared up to understand climate change and its local effects, drive adaptation and mitigation efforts, particularly in water security, and utilize new resources to impact their communities favorably. ACWA is enabled thanks to the support 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 Evaluates the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two wider examinations- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Appropriate local competent workers for existing job vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch between readily available jobs and abilities 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 approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to offer trained workers required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The project included four parts: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, particularly ladies and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Limited development was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The job 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 vocational education training system has actually remained fundamentally the exact same after job completion. The research study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to establishing a dedicated labour info system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the lack of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
