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 national training council ). This vital 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 intended to empower females and youth with the knowledge and practices needed for climate-resilient water security management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training reinforces a dedication to boosting rmi national training council's water security and community resilience versus climate modification effects, particularly women

and youth, ensuring that no one is left. The training welcomed individuals from all 24 atolls and featured resource speakers from government companies, non-governmental organizations, and international development 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 building a climate-resilient nation."It is our duty to come together and collaborate.

RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the essential function of women and youth in dealing with climate-related difficulties."This workshop unites us from various neighborhoods to resolve the pressing concerns we face today, consisting of climate-related difficulties, particularly on our water resources."We wish to emphasize the vital role of ladies and youth in this task as your participation is instrumental to its success and beyond, "she said.
The first day of the workshop covered crucial issues related to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the impacts of environment change on water security and the disproportionate impacts on vulnerable groups. The significance of incorporating gender equality and social inclusion into all task aspects was also discussed. Human rights and human trafficking were tackled, worrying the need for thorough security of susceptible populations

during emergencies. Furthermore, the workshop addressed gender-based violence, highlighting the different kinds that can emerge in disaster circumstances, such as domestic violence and sexual coercion. The program concluded with a concentrate on sanitation and hygiene and their crucial function in health, livelihoods, school participation, dignity, and building resistant neighborhoods. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his appreciation to all participants

, emphasizing the importance of their contributions to their communities."Women and youth are essential to the success of the ACWA project. More significantly, you are the champs and future leaders who will go back to your communities to empower others,"he stated. Throughout the workshop, individuals checked out Rongrong Island and took a look at the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank installed at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA job. The setup is a crucial part of the job, matched by support from Australia

By the workshop's end, individuals were much better equipped to understand climate modification and its local impacts, drive adaptation and mitigation efforts, particularly in water safety, and use brand-new resources to affect their communities favorably. ACWA is enabled thanks to the support 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 Evaluates the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two more comprehensive examinations- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and females in the outer islands. Ideal regional skilled workers for existing job vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of properly competent foreign employees. Hence, there was an inequality between readily available 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 occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to supply trained workers required for continual financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The task included 4 elements: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, improved skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and work for students, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was ranked not successful. Restricted progress was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
among 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 private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has actually remained essentially the very same after project conclusion. The study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
dedication to establishing a committed labour info system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with market need. Although the task set up a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
