Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has 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 arranged 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 needed for climate-resilient water safety management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training reinforces a commitment to boosting RMI's water security and community strength against environment change effects, particularly females
and youth, guaranteeing that nobody is left behind. The training welcomed individuals from all 24 atolls and featured resource speakers from government firms, non-governmental companies, and international advancement 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 Human Trafficking Task Force, Waan Aelõñ in Majel, Jo-Jikum, and the International Organization for Migration.

The very first day of the workshop covered important concerns connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the effects of environment change on water security and the disproportionate results on vulnerable groups. The value of incorporating gender equality and social inclusion into all job aspects was likewise talked about.

throughout emergency situations. In addition, the workshop addressed gender-based violence, highlighting the different kinds that can occur in disaster circumstances, such as domestic violence and sexual coercion. The program concluded with a focus on sanitation and hygiene and their crucial role in health, incomes, school participation, self-respect, and building durable neighborhoods. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his gratitude to all individuals
, stressing the value of their contributions to their communities."Women and youth are key to the success of the ACWA project. More importantly, you are the champions and future leaders who will go back to your communities to empower others,"he stated. During the workshop, individuals visited Rongrong Island and examined 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 a key part of the job, matched by support from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The visit functioned as an important direct experience of the positive effect of the ACWA project on the community and its

ACWA is made possible thanks to the support 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 Assesses the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two wider evaluations- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the employment and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and females in the outer islands. Suitable local experienced workers for existing job vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of appropriately skilled foreign workers. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between readily available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to offer trained workers required for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The task included four elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, boosted skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, particularly women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal progress was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of standard education. The job was supply-driven and might not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and trade education training system has stayed basically the same after job completion. The study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a devoted labour details system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with market demand. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
