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 Marshall Islands(rmi national training council ). This essential training was organized by the United Nations Development Programme( UNDP )Pacific Office through the Addressing Climate Vulnerability in the Water Sector(ACWA) project. The week-long capacity-building training intended to empower females and youth with the knowledge and practices needed for climate-resilient water safety management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training strengthens a commitment to improving rmi national training council's water security and neighborhood resilience versus environment change impacts, specifically females

and youth, making sure 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 international advancement partners from the rmi national training council 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. In her opening remarks, Secretary for the Ministry of Culture and Internal Affairs, Brenda Alik, underscored the significance of collective action in developing a climate-resilient country."It is our responsibility to come together and collaborate. As we deal with the challenges posed by climate change, comprehending its influence on our water resources is essential for enhancing the wellness of neighborhoods throughout the Marshall Islands,"she stated.

RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the vital function of females and youth in resolving climate-related challenges."This workshop unifies us from different neighborhoods to attend to the pressing issues we deal with today, consisting of climate-related difficulties, especially on our water resources."We want to stress the vital role of females and youth in this job as your participation contributes to its success and beyond, "she said.
The very first day of the workshop covered critical concerns associated with gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the effects of environment change on water security and the out of proportion impacts on susceptible groups. The value of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all project aspects was also gone over. Human rights and human trafficking were taken on, stressing the requirement for detailed defense of vulnerable populations

during emergency situations. Additionally, the workshop resolved gender-based violence, highlighting the different types that can emerge in catastrophe circumstances, such as domestic violence and sexual coercion. The program concluded with a focus on sanitation and health and their crucial function in health, incomes, school participation, dignity, and building resistant communities. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his thankfulness to all individuals

, emphasizing the significance of their contributions to their communities."Women and youth are essential 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. Throughout 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. The setup is a crucial component of the project, matched by support from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The see served as an important direct experience of the positive effect of the ACWA job on the neighborhood and its

Don Kobney, an ACWA website coordinator from Santo, Kwajalein, also shared his excitement."The workshop and site visit boosted my self-confidence and understanding of the water tank setup.

Seeing the 15,000-gallon flatpack modular water tank firsthand provided me a clear understanding of the system, and I'm eagerly anticipating sharing this understanding with my neighborhood, "he said. By the workshop's end, participants were much better equipped to comprehend environment change and its regional effects, drive adaptation and mitigation efforts, particularly in water safety, and utilize brand-new resources to affect their communities favorably. 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 2 wider evaluations- the regional examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and females in the external islands. Appropriate regional experienced workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of properly experienced foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch in between available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to offer well-trained employees needed for continual financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The job included 4 components: development of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved skills training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, especially females and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was ranked not successful. Limited progress was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of standard education. The job was supply-driven and might 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 fundamentally the very same after job completion. The research study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a committed labour details system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task set up a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
