Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has just recently happened at the University of the South Pacific’s school in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(rmi national training council ). This vital 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 aimed to empower females and youth with the knowledge and practices needed for climate-resilient water safety management in the

Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training enhances a commitment to boosting RMI’s water security and community durability versus environment modification impacts, particularly females

and youth, guaranteeing that nobody is left. The training invited individuals from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from federal government firms, non-governmental companies, and global development 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.

The very first day of the workshop covered important problems associated with gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the impacts of climate modification on water security and the out of proportion effects on vulnerable groups. The value of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all job aspects was likewise gone over.

throughout emergency situations. In addition, the workshop dealt with gender-based violence, highlighting the various types that can occur in disaster situations, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The agenda concluded with a focus on sanitation and health and their essential function in health, incomes, school presence, self-respect, and structure resilient communities. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed his gratitude to all participants

, emphasizing the importance of their contributions to their neighborhoods.”Women and youth are essential to the success of the ACWA project.

Throughout 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.

ACWA is enabled thanks to the assistance of the Green Climate

Fund, with the job 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. Provides inputs to 2 more comprehensive examinations- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Ideal local competent workers for existing job vacancies

were not available, hence the importation of properly proficient foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality in between readily available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered 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 skills training to provide well-trained workers needed for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project included four parts: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, particularly women and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was rated unsuccessful. Minimal progress was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies

among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of basic education. The task was supply-driven and might not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has stayed essentially the exact same after project conclusion. The study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government’s

dedication to establishing a dedicated labour information system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task set up a labour market information system, in the absence of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
