Republic of the Marshall Islands: The fourth
Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has actually just recently happened at the University of the South Pacific's campus 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 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 reinforces a commitment to boosting RMI's water security and community strength versus climate modification effects, especially ladies

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 broader evaluations- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the trade 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. Appropriate regional knowledgeable workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of properly experienced foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality in between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to supply well-trained workers required for sustained economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The project included four components: development of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, specifically women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted development was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and could 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 occupation education training system has actually remained essentially the same after task completion. The research study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
commitment to establishing a devoted labour info system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project established a labour market details system, in the absence of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
