The week-long capacity-building training aimed to empower females and youth with the knowledge and practices required for climate-resilient water safety management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training strengthens a commitment to boosting RMI's water security and neighborhood durability versus climate change effects, particularly females

The very first day of the workshop covered vital problems connected to 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 climate change on water security and the disproportionate impacts on susceptible groups. The value of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all project elements was likewise gone over. Human rights and human trafficking were tackled, worrying the need for extensive security of susceptible populations

during emergencies. Furthermore, the workshop resolved gender-based violence, highlighting the various types that can develop in disaster circumstances, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The agenda concluded with a focus on sanitation and health and their vital function in health, incomes, school participation, self-respect, and structure resilient neighborhoods. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed his thankfulness to all participants

, highlighting the importance of their contributions to their neighborhoods."Women and youth are crucial to the success of the ACWA job.

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 Assesses the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two broader assessments- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Suitable regional experienced workers for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of appropriately proficient foreign workers. Therefore, there was a mismatch between offered jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to offer trained workers required for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The task consisted of 4 parts: development of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, enhanced skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, specifically ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted progress was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of basic education. The job 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 trade education training system has stayed essentially the exact same after project conclusion. The research study put forward 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 devoted labour details system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the job set up a labour market info system, in the absence of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
