Republic of the Marshall Islands: The fourth

Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has actually recently taken place at the University of the South Pacific's campus in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands([[https://unevoc.unesco.org/countryprofiles/docs/UNESCO_Funding-of-Training_Marshall-Islands.pdf|rmi national training council]] ). This important training was arranged 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 aimed to empower females and youth with the knowledge and practices required 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 resilience against climate change impacts, particularly women 


and youth, making sure that nobody is left. The training invited participants from all 24 atolls and featured resource speakers from government companies, non-governmental companies, and international advancement 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, underscored the significance of collective action in building a climate-resilient country."It is our duty to come together and collaborate. As we face the difficulties positioned by environment change, comprehending its effect on our water resources is important for improving 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 ladies and youth in addressing climate-related obstacles."This workshop unifies us from different neighborhoods to deal with the pressing concerns we deal with today, including climate-related obstacles, particularly on our water resources."We wish to highlight the crucial role of females and youth in this project as your participation contributes to its success and beyond, "she stated.

The first day of the workshop covered vital issues related to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the effects of climate modification on water security and the disproportionate effects on vulnerable groups. The value of incorporating gender equality and social addition into all task aspects was likewise talked about.

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two broader examinations- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the vocational and technical education system.


These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Suitable regional competent personnel for existing job vacancies
 were unavailable, thus the importation of properly skilled foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to provide well-trained workers required for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The task included four parts: development of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, specifically women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the job was rated not successful. Minimal progress was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies

amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending 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 economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has stayed basically the very same after job conclusion. The study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's

commitment to establishing a dedicated labour information system to connect technical and occupation education training program offerings with market need. Although the project set up a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house staff capability at the [[https://projects.worldbank.org/pt/projects-operations/procurement-detail/OP00327170|National Training Council]], it was not completely operational.(Image: [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSqh4O5XsDfdZhGPaXAKcijEBptB3g90BWSwg&s|https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSqh4O5XsDfdZhGPaXAKcijEBptB3g90BWSwg&s]])
