Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has recently occurred 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) project. The week-long capacity-building training aimed to empower women and youth with the understanding and practices required for climate-resilient water safety management in the

Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training reinforces a dedication to improving RMI’s water security and neighborhood resilience against environment change effects, specifically ladies

The first day of the workshop covered vital issues related to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the impacts of climate change on water security and the disproportionate impacts on susceptible groups. The significance of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all task elements was likewise gone over.

ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed his gratitude to all individuals

, emphasizing the value of their contributions to their neighborhoods.”Women and youth are crucial to the success of the ACWA job. More importantly, you are the champs and future leaders who will return to your communities to empower others,”he stated. During the workshop, participants checked out Rongrong Island and examined the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank set up at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA project.

By the workshop’s end, individuals were better geared up to understand environment change and its regional impacts, drive adaptation and mitigation efforts, particularly in water safety, and utilize brand-new resources to impact their communities favorably. ACWA is enabled thanks to the support of the Green Climate

Fund, with the project co-financed by the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two wider evaluations- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Suitable local skilled workers for existing job vacancies

were unavailable, thus the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality between readily available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to provide well-trained employees needed for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The job included 4 elements: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for students, specifically women and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Limited development was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The project was supply-driven and might not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has stayed basically the very same after project completion. 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 committed labour information system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the job established a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
