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 ladies and youth with the knowledge and practices needed for climate-resilient water safety management in the

Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training strengthens a commitment to improving RMI's water security and neighborhood durability against climate modification impacts, especially ladies

and youth, guaranteeing that no one is left behind. The training invited individuals from all 24 atolls and featured resource speakers from 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. In her opening remarks, Secretary for the Ministry of Culture and Internal Affairs, Brenda Alik, underscored the significance of cumulative action in developing a climate-resilient nation."It is our obligation to come together and work together. As we face the difficulties postured by environment modification, understanding its influence on our water resources is essential for enhancing the wellness of neighborhoods across the Marshall Islands,"she said.

RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the essential role of ladies and youth in dealing with climate-related challenges."This workshop joins us from numerous communities to attend to the pressing issues we face today, including climate-related difficulties, especially on our water resources."We want to stress the vital role of women and youth in this task as your participation contributes to its success and beyond, "she stated.

The first day of the workshop covered critical problems associated with 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 impacts on vulnerable groups. The value of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all project aspects was likewise talked about. Human rights and human trafficking were taken on, stressing the need for detailed security of vulnerable populations

during emergencies. In addition, the workshop attended to gender-based violence, highlighting the numerous types that can occur in catastrophe scenarios, such as domestic violence and sexual coercion. The program concluded with a focus on sanitation and hygiene and their vital role in health, incomes, school presence, dignity, and structure durable communities. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his appreciation to all individuals

, stressing the significance of their contributions to their communities."Women and youth are crucial to the success of the ACWA job. More importantly, you are the champions and future leaders who will return to your neighborhoods to empower others,"he stated. Throughout the workshop, participants went to Rongrong Island and examined the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank set up at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA job.

By the workshop's end, participants were much better equipped to understand environment modification and its regional impacts, drive adaptation and mitigation efforts, especially in water safety, and utilize brand-new resources to impact their neighborhoods positively. ACWA is enabled thanks to the assistance 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 efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 broader assessments- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and lack 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 abilities training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high amongst the youth and women in the external islands. Suitable regional proficient personnel for existing job vacancies

were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately skilled foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality between readily available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort 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 improve skills training to provide well-trained employees required for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task consisted of 4 elements: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, particularly ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted progress was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of basic education. The project was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and trade education training system has stayed essentially the same after job conclusion. The study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's

dedication to establishing a committed labour details system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task established a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
