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 happened at the University of the South Pacific's school in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This important training was organized 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 knowledge and practices required for climate-resilient water safety management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training enhances a commitment to boosting RMI's water security and neighborhood resilience versus climate change effects, especially women

and youth, guaranteeing that no one is left. The training invited participants from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from federal government companies, 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 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 cumulative action in constructing a climate-resilient country."It is our duty to come together and collaborate. As we deal with the difficulties positioned by climate change, understanding its effect on our water resources is vital for improving the well-being of communities across the Marshall Islands,"she said.

RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the necessary role of ladies and youth in addressing climate-related challenges."This workshop unites us from numerous neighborhoods to resolve the pressing concerns we face today, consisting of climate-related obstacles, especially on our water resources."We wish to stress the essential role of ladies and youth in this project as your participation contributes to its success and beyond, "she stated.
The very first day of the workshop covered critical issues connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the effects of climate change on water security and the disproportionate effects on susceptible groups. The value of incorporating gender equality and social addition into all job elements was also talked about. Human rights and human trafficking were dealt with, stressing the requirement for detailed protection of susceptible populations

during emergency situations. In addition, the workshop attended to gender-based violence, highlighting the various types that can occur in disaster situations, such as domestic violence and sexual coercion. The program concluded with a focus on sanitation and health and their crucial function in health, livelihoods, school participation, dignity, and building durable communities. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his thankfulness to all individuals

, stressing the importance of their contributions to their neighborhoods."Women and youth are crucial to the success of the ACWA task. More notably, you are the champions and future leaders who will go back to your neighborhoods to empower others,"he stated. Throughout the workshop, individuals checked out Rongrong Island and analyzed the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank set up at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA job. The setup is an essential component of the project, matched by support from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The see functioned as a valuable direct experience of the favorable effect of the ACWA task on the community and its

water resources. Marie Naisher from Jabat Island revealed her gratitude for the opportunity to sign up with the workshop and explained her desire to be part of the job when it reaches Jabat.

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

By the workshop's end, participants were much better geared up to comprehend climate change and its local impacts, drive adjustment and mitigation efforts, especially in water security, and use new resources to impact their neighborhoods favorably. ACWA is made possible thanks to the support of the Green Climate

Fund, with the project 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 task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive assessments- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and females in the external islands. Suitable local experienced personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of properly experienced foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch between offered jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to supply well-trained workers needed for continual economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project consisted of four components: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, specifically ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was ranked not successful. Limited development was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or going to voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of basic education. The task was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and trade education training system has actually stayed fundamentally the very same after project completion. The study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to establishing a committed labour details system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with market need. Although the job established a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
