Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has recently happened at the University of the South Pacific's school in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This important training was organized 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 females and youth with the knowledge and practices needed for climate-resilient water security management in the

ACWA is enabled thanks to the support of the Green Climate

Fund, with the task 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 task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 broader examinations- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Ideal regional experienced workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of appropriately proficient foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch in between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to offer well-trained employees required for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project included 4 elements: development of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, specifically females and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was rated unsuccessful. Minimal progress was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The job was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has actually remained essentially the very same after project completion. The study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to developing a committed labour info system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
