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 national training council ). This crucial 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 women and youth with the knowledge and practices required for climate-resilient water security management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training enhances a dedication to boosting RMI's water security and neighborhood strength versus environment modification impacts, specifically women

The value of integrating gender equality and social addition into all project elements was likewise talked about.

ACWA is enabled 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 Examines the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two broader assessments- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in skills training and the trade and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Appropriate regional competent workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of properly experienced foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between offered tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to provide well-trained employees required for continual financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The job included four components: development of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced skills training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, specifically females and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was ranked not successful. Minimal progress was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The task 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 trade education training system has stayed essentially the exact same after job conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to establishing a devoted labour info system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project established a labour market info system, in the lack of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
