 <br>Women and Youth Training for<br>Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has just recently taken place at the University of the South Pacific's campus in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This crucial 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 security management in the
 <br>Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training reinforces a dedication to improving [rmi national training council](https://www.unescap.org/sites/default/d8files/2023-08/ESCAP-2023-RP-Marshall-Islands-National-Investment-Policy-Statement.pdf)'s water security and community strength against environment change effects, specifically females <br>
 <br>and youth, guaranteeing that no one is left behind. The training invited participants from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from government companies, non-governmental companies, and international 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 building a climate-resilient nation."It is our duty to come together and interact. As we deal with the obstacles postured by environment modification, understanding its effect on our water resources is important for improving the well-being of communities across the Marshall Islands,"she stated.<br>
 <br>RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the necessary function of females and youth in dealing with climate-related challenges."This workshop joins us from various communities to deal with the pressing problems we face today, consisting of climate-related challenges, especially on our water resources."We want to emphasize the crucial function of ladies and youth in this job as your involvement is instrumental to its success and beyond, "she said.
 <br>The first day of the workshop covered critical concerns connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the effects of climate change on water security and the disproportionate results on vulnerable groups. The significance of incorporating gender equality and social inclusion into all job elements was also talked about. Human rights and human trafficking were taken on, stressing the requirement for extensive protection of vulnerable populations<br>
 <br>throughout emergencies. Additionally, the workshop resolved gender-based violence, highlighting the numerous forms that can arise in disaster scenarios, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating.

More significantly, you are the champions and future leaders who will go back to your communities to empower others,"he said. During the workshop, individuals visited 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 task.

By the workshop's end, participants were better equipped to understand climate change and its regional impacts, drive adjustment and mitigation efforts, especially in water security, and utilize brand-new resources to impact their communities favorably. ACWA is made possible thanks to the assistance of the Green Climate<br>
 <br>Fund, with the job 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. Offers inputs to two more comprehensive examinations- the regional evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the employment and technical education system.<br>
 <br>These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high amongst the youth and ladies in the external islands. Suitable regional knowledgeable personnel for existing job vacancies<br> were unavailable, thus the importation of properly skilled foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality between readily available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government<br>of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply trained workers needed for sustained economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The project included 4 components: development of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was ranked not successful. Limited development was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
 <br>amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has actually remained fundamentally the very same after task conclusion. The study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
 <br>commitment to establishing a devoted labour details system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project set up a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house staff capability at the [National Training Council](https://groups.io/g/PacificVacancies/topic/marshall_islands_maritime/85431430), it was not completely functional.
