Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has actually just recently occurred at the University of the South Pacific's campus in Majuro, the Republic of the Islands(rmi national training council ). This crucial 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 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 national training council ). This training enhances a dedication to enhancing RMI's water security and community strength against environment modification effects, particularly females

and youth, guaranteeing that no one is left. The training invited participants from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from federal government agencies, non-governmental companies, and global 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 national training council Human Trafficking Task Force, Waan Aelõñ in Majel, Jo-Jikum, and the International Organization for Migration.

Additionally, the workshop resolved gender-based violence, highlighting the different forms that can develop in catastrophe situations, such as domestic violence and sexual coercion.

ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his thankfulness to all individuals

, emphasizing the value of their contributions to their communities."Women and youth are key to the success of the ACWA project. More notably, you are the champions and future leaders who will return to your neighborhoods to empower others,"he said. Throughout the workshop, participants went to Rongrong Island and took a look at the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank installed at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA task.

By the workshop's end, participants were better geared up to understand climate modification and its local impacts, drive adaptation and mitigation efforts, especially in water safety, and make use of brand-new resources to impact their communities favorably. ACWA is enabled 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 performance of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two broader assessments- the regional examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Ideal regional skilled workers for existing job vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch in between readily available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to supply well-trained employees needed for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities 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 conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, especially ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal development was achieved 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 proficiencies
among 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 basic education. The task was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with private 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 fundamentally the exact same after job completion. The research study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a devoted labour information system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task established a labour market info system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
