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 taken place at the University of the South Pacific's campus in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This crucial training was organized 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 intended to empower females and youth with the knowledge and practices required for climate-resilient water security management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training enhances a commitment to boosting RMI's water security and neighborhood durability against environment modification effects, especially women

and youth, making sure that no one is left. The training invited individuals from all 24 atolls and featured resource speakers from government firms, non-governmental organizations, and worldwide 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 collaborate. As we deal with the obstacles positioned by environment change, understanding its impact on our water resources is vital for improving the wellness of neighborhoods throughout the Marshall Islands,"she stated.

RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the vital role of females and youth in resolving climate-related challenges."This workshop unites us from different neighborhoods to resolve the pressing problems we face today, consisting of climate-related challenges, especially on our water resources."We want to emphasize the essential function of ladies and youth in this task as your involvement contributes to its success and beyond, "she stated.
The first day of the workshop covered vital concerns connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the impacts of environment change on water security and the disproportionate results on susceptible groups. The importance of incorporating gender equality and social addition into all project aspects was also gone over. Human rights and human trafficking were tackled, stressing the need for comprehensive defense of vulnerable populations

throughout emergency situations. Additionally, the workshop resolved gender-based violence, highlighting the numerous kinds that can arise in disaster scenarios, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The program concluded with a focus on sanitation and health and their crucial function in health, livelihoods, school participation, dignity, and building durable communities. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed his appreciation to all participants

, highlighting the importance of their contributions to their communities."Women and youth are essential to the success of the ACWA task. More importantly, you are the champs and future leaders who will go back to your communities to empower others,"he said. During the workshop, participants visited Rongrong Island and took a look at the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank set up at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA task. The installation is a key component of the task, matched by assistance from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The check out acted as an important firsthand experience of the positive impact of the ACWA task on the community and its

water resources. Marie Naisher from Jabat Island revealed her thankfulness for the opportunity to sign up with the workshop and explained her desire to be part of the job when it reaches Jabat.

"This was my first time participating in such training, and I learned a lot from the visitor speakers, group activities, and the website see. I now comprehend the significance of clean water and how to sterilize it. I'm thrilled about the ACWA task concerning Jabat and prepared to help when it gets here,"she said. Don Kobney, an ACWA website coordinator from Santo, Kwajalein, also shared his excitement."The workshop and site check out boosted my confidence and understanding of the water tank setup.

Seeing the 15,000-gallon flatpack modular water tank firsthand offered me a clear understanding of the system, and I'm anticipating sharing this understanding with my neighborhood, "he stated. By the workshop's end, individuals were better equipped to understand environment change and its local impacts, drive adaptation and mitigation efforts, particularly in water security, and use brand-new resources to impact their communities positively. ACWA is made possible thanks to the assistance of the Green Climate

Fund, with the job co-financed by the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two broader examinations- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills 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. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and women in the outer islands. Appropriate regional competent workers for existing job vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of properly competent foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch in between offered jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply trained workers needed for continual economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task consisted of four components: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, specifically females and youth in the external islands. In general, the task was ranked not successful. Limited development was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The job was supply-driven and might not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has actually remained basically the exact same after job conclusion. The study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a dedicated labour details system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the job established a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
