Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has recently occurred at the University of the South Pacific’s campus in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This essential 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 ladies and youth with the understanding and practices required for climate-resilient water security management in the

Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training enhances a commitment to enhancing RMI’s water security and community durability versus environment change effects, particularly females

The first day of the workshop covered vital concerns associated with gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands.

The value of integrating gender equality and social addition into all task elements was likewise discussed.

More importantly, you are the champs and future leaders who will return to your neighborhoods to empower others,”he said. During the workshop, individuals went to Rongrong Island and examined the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank installed at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA task.

ACWA is made possible 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 Assesses the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two more comprehensive assessments- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities 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. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Appropriate local experienced personnel for existing job vacancies

were not available, for this reason the importation of appropriately competent foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality between readily available tasks and skills 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 enhance abilities training to supply trained workers needed for continual financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task included four elements: development of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, especially females and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was rated unsuccessful. Minimal progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies

among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The job was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has remained basically the very same after job conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government’s

dedication to establishing a devoted labour information system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry need. Although the job established a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
