Republic of the Marshall Islands: The fourth
Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has just recently occurred 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) job. The week-long capacity-building training intended to empower ladies and youth with the understanding 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 community strength versus climate change effects, particularly females
and youth, guaranteeing that nobody is left. The training invited participants from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from government agencies, 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 cumulative action in building a climate-resilient nation."It is our duty to come together and work together. As we deal with the challenges postured by environment modification, understanding its impact on our water resources is necessary for enhancing the wellness of neighborhoods throughout the Marshall Islands,"she said.
RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the important role of women and youth in resolving climate-related difficulties."This workshop unifies us from various neighborhoods to attend to the pressing problems we deal with today, including climate-related difficulties, particularly on our water resources."We want to stress the vital role of ladies and youth in this job as your participation is instrumental to its success and beyond, "she stated.
The very first day of the workshop covered vital concerns associated with gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the impacts of climate change on water security and the disproportionate impacts on susceptible groups. The importance of integrating gender equality and social addition into all job aspects was also talked about. Human rights and human trafficking were tackled, stressing the need for comprehensive security of vulnerable populations
during emergencies. Furthermore, the workshop attended to gender-based violence, highlighting the various kinds that can occur in disaster situations, such as domestic violence and sexual coercion. The agenda concluded with a concentrate on sanitation and health and their vital role in health, livelihoods, school attendance, self-respect, and structure durable neighborhoods. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his thankfulness to all individuals
, stressing the significance of their contributions to their communities."Women and youth are essential to the success of the ACWA task. More significantly, you are the champions and future leaders who will go back to your neighborhoods to empower others,"he stated. Throughout the workshop, individuals went to Rongrong Island and took a look at the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank installed at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA task. The installation is a crucial part of the task, complemented by assistance from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The see acted as a valuable firsthand experience of the positive effect of the ACWA job on the community and its
water resources. Marie Naisher from Jabat Island expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to sign up with the workshop and explained her desire to be part of the job when it reaches Jabat.
"This was my first time taking part in such training, and I found out so much from the guest speakers, group activities, and the website visit.

Don Kobney, an ACWA website coordinator from Santo, Kwajalein, likewise shared his enjoyment."The workshop and site go to enhanced my confidence and understanding of the water tank setup.
Seeing the 15,000-gallon flatpack modular water tank firsthand offered me a clear understanding of the system, and I'm eagerly anticipating sharing this understanding with my neighborhood, "he stated. By the workshop's end, individuals were much better geared up to understand environment change and its regional impacts, drive adaptation and mitigation efforts, especially in water security, and use 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 broader examinations- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of standard education, lack 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 unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Suitable local proficient workers for existing job vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of properly competent foreign employees. Hence, there was an inequality between offered jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to supply trained employees required for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project included four components: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, improved abilities training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, specifically females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal development was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The job 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 trade education training system has stayed fundamentally the same after job conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to establishing a dedicated labour information system to connect technical and occupation education training program offerings with market demand. Although the task established a labour market info system, in the absence of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
