<br>Women and Youth Training for<br>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 ). This important 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 aimed to empower women and youth with the knowledge and practices needed for climate-resilient water safety management in the
<br>Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training reinforces a commitment to improving RMI’s water security and community strength against environment modification impacts, particularly females <br>
<br>and youth, making sure that nobody is left behind. The training welcomed individuals from all 24 atolls and featured resource speakers from government firms, non-governmental organizations, and global development partners from the rmi national training council 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 constructing a climate-resilient nation.”It is our obligation to come together and interact. As we face the challenges positioned by climate modification, comprehending its influence on our water resources is essential for enhancing the wellness of neighborhoods throughout the Marshall Islands,”she said.<br>
<br>RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the necessary role of ladies and youth in dealing with climate-related challenges.”This workshop joins us from different neighborhoods to resolve the pressing problems we face today, consisting of climate-related challenges, especially on our water resources.”We wish to emphasize the essential role of females and youth in this project as your involvement contributes to its success and beyond, “she said.
<br>The first day of the workshop covered crucial issues 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 environment modification on water security and the disproportionate effects on vulnerable groups. The significance of incorporating gender equality and social addition into all project elements was also discussed. Human rights and human trafficking were dealt with, worrying the requirement for detailed security of vulnerable populations<br>
<br>throughout emergencies. Additionally, the workshop addressed gender-based violence, highlighting the different types that can occur in disaster circumstances, such as domestic violence and sexual coercion. The program concluded with a focus on sanitation and hygiene and their vital function in health, incomes, school attendance, dignity, and building resilient neighborhoods. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his appreciation to all participants<br>
<br>, stressing the value of their contributions to their neighborhoods.”Women and youth are key to the success of the ACWA project. More importantly, you are the champs and future leaders who will return to your neighborhoods to empower others,”he said. During the workshop, participants checked out Rongrong Island and analyzed 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 an essential component of the task, complemented by support from Australia
<br>’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The check out worked as a valuable firsthand experience of the positive impact of the ACWA job on the community and its<br>
<br> water resources. Marie Naisher from Jabat Island revealed her thankfulness for the chance to join the workshop and explained her desire to be part of the task when it reaches Jabat.<br>

<br>Seeing the 15,000-gallon flatpack modular water tank firsthand gave me a clear understanding of the system, and I’m eagerly anticipating sharing this knowledge with my neighborhood, “he stated. By the workshop’s end, participants were much better geared up to comprehend environment modification and its local effects, drive adjustment and mitigation efforts, particularly in water security, and make use of brand-new resources to impact their communities positively. ACWA is made possible thanks to the assistance of the Green Climate<br>
<br>Fund, with the project co-financed by the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands<br>
<br>. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 more comprehensive evaluations- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the occupation and technical education system.<br>
<br>These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and women in the external islands. Appropriate local proficient personnel for existing task vacancies<br> were unavailable, hence the importation of properly competent foreign workers. Therefore, there was a mismatch between offered jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government<br>of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to offer well-trained workers needed for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The job consisted of four elements: development of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, boosted skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and work for students, especially women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the task was rated not successful. Minimal progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
<br>amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The job was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has actually remained fundamentally the very same after project conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government’s
<br>commitment to developing a dedicated labour details system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
