This important training was arranged by the United Nations Development Programme( UNDP )Pacific Office through the Addressing Climate Vulnerability in the Water Sector(ACWA) task. The week-long capacity-building training aimed to empower ladies and youth with the understanding and practices needed for climate-resilient water security management in the

Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training reinforces a dedication to enhancing rmi national training council‘s water security and neighborhood resilience versus climate modification impacts, particularly females

The very first day of the workshop covered important issues related to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands.

The value of incorporating gender equality and social inclusion into all task elements was also discussed.

ACWA is enabled thanks to the assistance 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 Examines the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive assessments- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of standard 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 private sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable regional proficient personnel for existing job vacancies

were not available, thus the importation of properly proficient foreign workers. Hence, there was an inequality between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to offer trained employees needed for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task included 4 components: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, particularly females and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was rated not successful. Restricted progress was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The project was supply-driven and might not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has stayed fundamentally the exact same after job completion. The study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government’s

dedication to establishing a dedicated labour information system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with market need. Although the task set up a labour market info system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
