The week-long capacity-building training intended to empower women and youth with the knowledge and practices needed for climate-resilient water safety management in the

The first day of the workshop covered important concerns connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands.

The significance of incorporating gender equality and social inclusion into all project elements was likewise talked about.

ACWA is enabled thanks to the assistance of the Green Climate

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two wider assessments- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the employment and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Suitable local competent workers for existing job vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of appropriately proficient foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch in between readily available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to offer trained employees needed for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The job included four elements: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted skills training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was rated unsuccessful. Restricted development was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The project was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and trade education training system has remained basically the same after job completion. The study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government’s
commitment to establishing a dedicated labour details system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project set up a labour market info system, in the absence of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
