Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has actually recently occurred 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) project. The week-long capacity-building training intended to empower women and youth with the knowledge and practices required for climate-resilient water safety management in the

Republic of the Marshall Islands(rmi national training council ). This training strengthens a commitment to enhancing RMI's water security and neighborhood strength versus environment change effects, specifically women

The significance of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all job elements was also gone over.

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency 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 instructional attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Suitable local proficient workers for existing task vacancies

were unavailable, hence the importation of properly experienced foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch in between offered jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to offer well-trained employees required for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The task consisted of 4 elements: development of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, specifically women and youth in the external islands. In general, the task was ranked not successful. Minimal progress was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in 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 develop 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 actually stayed fundamentally the same after project completion. The study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's

dedication to developing a devoted labour details system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with market demand. Although the job set up a labour market info system, in the lack of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
