Republic of the Marshall Islands: The 4th
Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has just recently happened at the University of the South Pacific's campus in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This crucial training was organized 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 intended to empower ladies and youth with the knowledge and practices needed for climate-resilient water safety management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(rmi national training council ). This training strengthens a dedication to improving RMI's water security and neighborhood resilience versus climate modification effects, especially women

and youth, making sure that nobody is left. The training invited individuals from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from government companies, non-governmental organizations, and worldwide 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, highlighted the significance of collective action in constructing a climate-resilient nation."It is our obligation to come together and interact. As we face the difficulties postured by environment modification, understanding its effect on our water resources is essential for enhancing the well-being of communities across the Marshall Islands,"she stated.

RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the necessary role of ladies and youth in resolving climate-related challenges."This workshop joins us from numerous neighborhoods to attend to the pressing concerns we deal with today, consisting of climate-related challenges, especially on our water resources."We wish to stress the essential function of ladies and youth in this project as your involvement contributes to its success and beyond, "she stated.
The first day of the workshop covered vital problems associated with 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 environment change on water security and the disproportionate impacts on susceptible groups. The importance of incorporating gender equality and social inclusion into all task elements was likewise discussed. Human rights and human trafficking were tackled, worrying the need for detailed defense of susceptible populations

during emergency situations. In addition, the workshop dealt with gender-based violence, highlighting the different types that can occur in disaster scenarios, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The agenda concluded with a focus on sanitation and hygiene and their important role in health, incomes, school presence, self-respect, and building resistant neighborhoods. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed his appreciation to all individuals

, stressing the significance of their contributions to their neighborhoods."Women and youth are crucial to the success of the ACWA project. More importantly, you are the champs and future leaders who will go back to your neighborhoods to empower others,"he said. Throughout the workshop, individuals checked out Rongrong Island and analyzed the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank installed at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA job. The installation is an essential component of the task, matched by assistance from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The visit worked as an important firsthand experience of the positive effect of the ACWA project on the neighborhood and its

water resources. Marie Naisher from Jabat Island expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to join the workshop and made clear her desire to be part of the job when it reaches Jabat.

"This was my first time participating in such training, and I found out so much from the guest speakers, group activities, and the site visit. I now comprehend the value of tidy water and how to sanitize it. I'm excited about the ACWA job concerning Jabat and prepared to assist when it gets here,"she said. Don Kobney, an ACWA website organizer from Santo, Kwajalein, also shared his enjoyment."The workshop and site see boosted my 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 anticipating sharing this knowledge with my community, "he said. By the workshop's end, individuals were better geared up to understand environment modification and its regional effects, drive adjustment and mitigation efforts, particularly in water safety, and use new resources to impact their communities positively. 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 Examines the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two broader evaluations- the regional assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and lack 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 abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable local experienced personnel for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of properly competent foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality between offered jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to supply well-trained workers needed for sustained financial and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The task included 4 elements: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, boosted skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, especially women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal progress was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and could 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 trade education training system has remained fundamentally the same after job completion. The study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a committed labour information system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with market need. Although the project set up a labour market details system, in the absence of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
