Republic of the Marshall Islands: The 4th
Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has recently taken place at the University of the South Pacific’s campus in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This vital 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 understanding and practices required for climate-resilient water safety management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training strengthens a commitment to enhancing RMI’s water security and community durability versus climate modification effects, especially ladies
and youth, guaranteeing that nobody is left behind. The training welcomed individuals from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from federal government firms, non-governmental companies, 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, underscored the significance of collective action in developing a climate-resilient nation.”It is our duty to come together and interact.

RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the necessary role of women and youth in dealing with climate-related difficulties.”This workshop joins us from various communities to address the pressing concerns we deal with today, consisting of climate-related difficulties, especially on our water resources.”We want to stress the vital role of females and youth in this task as your involvement is instrumental to its success and beyond, “she said.
The very first day of the workshop covered crucial concerns related to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the effects of environment modification on water security and the disproportionate results on susceptible groups. The value of incorporating gender equality and social inclusion into all job aspects was also discussed. Human rights and human trafficking were taken on, worrying the need for thorough defense of susceptible populations
throughout emergencies. Additionally, the workshop addressed gender-based violence, highlighting the numerous forms that can occur in catastrophe situations, such as domestic violence and sexual coercion. The program concluded with a concentrate on sanitation and hygiene and their important function in health, livelihoods, school participation, self-respect, and structure resistant communities. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his thankfulness to all participants
, emphasizing the importance of their contributions to their neighborhoods.”Women and youth are crucial to the success of the ACWA task. More notably, you are the champs and future leaders who will go back to your neighborhoods 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 project. The setup is a crucial part of the task, matched by support from Australia

Don Kobney, an ACWA site planner from Santo, Kwajalein, also shared his enjoyment.”The workshop and site check out enhanced my confidence and understanding of the water tank installation.
Seeing the 15,000-gallon flatpack modular water tank firsthand gave me a clear understanding of the system, and I’m looking forward to sharing this knowledge with my neighborhood, “he stated. By the workshop’s end, participants were much better equipped to understand environment change and its local effects, drive adjustment and mitigation efforts, especially in water security, and make use of new resources to impact their communities positively. ACWA is made possible thanks to the assistance 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 Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 wider assessments- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and ladies in the external islands. Ideal local knowledgeable personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of appropriately competent foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between available tasks 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 authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to offer trained employees required for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The project included 4 elements: development of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, particularly females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was ranked not successful. Minimal progress was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in 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 private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has remained fundamentally the same after task conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government’s
commitment to developing a devoted labour details system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project established a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
