Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has just recently taken place at the University of the South Pacific's school 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) job. The week-long capacity-building training intended to empower ladies and youth with the understanding and practices required for climate-resilient water safety management in the

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two wider assessments- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses 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 specifically high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Ideal regional experienced personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch between readily available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to offer trained employees required for continual financial and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The project included four components: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, boosted abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, specifically ladies and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the task was rated not successful. Minimal progress was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has stayed essentially the exact same after job completion. The study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a dedicated labour information system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with market demand. Although the job set up a labour market details system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
