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 school 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 intended to empower females and youth with the understanding and practices needed for climate-resilient water safety management in the

Republic of the Marshall Islands(rmi national training council ). This training enhances a commitment to boosting RMI's water security and community resilience against environment modification impacts, especially women

and youth, ensuring that nobody is left behind. The training invited participants from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from federal 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 constructing a climate-resilient country."It is our duty to come together and collaborate. As we face the challenges posed by climate change, understanding its effect on our water resources is vital for enhancing the wellness of neighborhoods across the Marshall Islands,"she said.

The first day of the workshop covered critical problems associated with gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the impacts of climate change on water security and the disproportionate effects on susceptible groups. The significance of incorporating gender equality and social addition into all task elements was likewise talked about. Human rights and human trafficking were tackled, stressing the need for detailed security of vulnerable populations

during emergencies. In addition, the workshop resolved gender-based violence, highlighting the numerous forms that can emerge in catastrophe scenarios, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The agenda concluded with a concentrate on sanitation and hygiene and their vital function in health, livelihoods, school attendance, dignity, and structure resilient neighborhoods. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed his appreciation to all participants

, highlighting the importance of their contributions to their communities."Women and youth are key to the success of the ACWA job. More notably, you are the champs and future leaders who will go back to your neighborhoods to empower others,"he stated. During the workshop, individuals visited 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 regional impacts, drive adaptation and mitigation efforts, particularly in water security, and utilize brand-new resources to affect their neighborhoods favorably. ACWA is made possible thanks to the support 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 Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two wider assessments- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the employment 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 amongst the youth and females in the external islands. Suitable regional experienced workers for existing task vacancies

were not available, thus the importation of properly proficient foreign workers. Hence, there was an inequality in between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative 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 skills training to provide well-trained employees required for continual financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The task included 4 components: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, improved skills training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, especially women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was ranked not successful. Limited development was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies

amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The project 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 stayed essentially the same after job completion. The study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's

dedication to establishing a dedicated labour info system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the job set up a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
