Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has actually recently occurred at the University of the South Pacific's campus 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) task. The week-long capacity-building training intended to empower females and youth with the understanding and practices needed for climate-resilient water security management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training strengthens a dedication to enhancing rmi national training council's water security and neighborhood durability versus environment modification effects, specifically women

and youth, guaranteeing that nobody is left behind. The training welcomed individuals from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from federal government firms, non-governmental companies, 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 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 duty to come together and work together. As we deal with the difficulties posed by climate change, understanding its effect on our water resources is important for improving the wellness of neighborhoods across the Marshall Islands,"she said.

RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the important function of women and youth in attending to climate-related difficulties."This workshop joins us from numerous neighborhoods to address the pressing concerns we deal with today, including climate-related difficulties, especially on our water resources."We want to highlight the vital role of females and youth in this project as your involvement is instrumental to its success and beyond, "she said.
The very 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, concentrating on the impacts of climate change on water security and the disproportionate effects on susceptible groups. The importance of incorporating gender equality and social inclusion into all job elements was likewise gone over. Human rights and human trafficking were dealt with, worrying the requirement for detailed protection of vulnerable populations

during emergencies. In addition, the workshop attended to gender-based violence, highlighting the numerous forms that can arise in catastrophe scenarios, such as domestic violence and sexual coercion. The agenda concluded with a concentrate on sanitation and health and their essential role in health, incomes, school attendance, self-respect, and building resilient communities. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his gratitude to all participants

, highlighting the significance of their contributions to their communities."Women and youth are essential to the success of the ACWA task.

ACWA is enabled thanks to the assistance of the Green Climate

Fund, with the task 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 project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 more comprehensive evaluations- the regional examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses 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. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Appropriate regional proficient workers for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of properly experienced foreign workers. Hence, there was a mismatch in between available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to offer trained workers needed for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job included 4 parts: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, especially females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted progress was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point 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 credited to the poor quality of standard education. The job was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has stayed basically the exact same after task completion. The research study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
dedication to establishing a devoted labour details system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task set up a labour market information system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
