This important 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 improving RMI’s water security and community strength versus climate change impacts, especially ladies

and youth, making sure that nobody 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 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.

The first day of the workshop covered important concerns related to 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 climate change on water security and the disproportionate results on vulnerable groups. The significance of incorporating gender equality and social addition into all task elements was likewise discussed.

In addition, the workshop attended to gender-based violence, highlighting the various kinds that can occur in disaster situations, such as domestic violence and sexual coercion.

ACWA is enabled 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 efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive assessments- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly 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 occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Ideal regional proficient personnel for existing job vacancies

were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately proficient foreign workers. Hence, there was an inequality 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 trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to supply trained workers needed for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job included four parts: development of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, improved skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted development was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The job 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 professional education training system has remained essentially the very same after project conclusion. The study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government’s

dedication to establishing a committed labour info system to connect technical and employment education training program offerings with market demand. Although the task established a labour market details system, in the absence of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
