Republic of the Marshall Islands: The 4th
Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has recently happened at the University of the South Pacific's school in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This crucial training was organized 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 understanding and practices required for climate-resilient water safety management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training enhances a dedication to enhancing RMI's water security and community durability versus climate modification effects, particularly females
and youth, ensuring that no one is left. The training invited individuals from all 24 atolls and featured resource speakers from 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. In her opening remarks, Secretary for the Ministry of Culture and Internal Affairs, Brenda Alik, underscored the significance of collective action in developing a climate-resilient nation."It is our obligation to come together and work together. As we face the difficulties positioned by environment change, comprehending its impact on our water resources is vital for improving the well-being of communities throughout the Marshall Islands,"she stated.
RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the essential function of women and youth in addressing climate-related difficulties."This workshop unites us from numerous communities to attend to the pressing issues we deal with today, including climate-related challenges, especially on our water resources."We wish to highlight the crucial role of females and youth in this task as your participation is instrumental to its success and beyond, "she said.
The very first day of the workshop covered crucial concerns related to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the impacts of climate change on water security and the out of proportion impacts on susceptible groups. The significance of incorporating gender equality and social addition into all job aspects was likewise talked about. Human rights and human trafficking were taken on, worrying the requirement for detailed protection of susceptible populations
throughout emergency situations. Furthermore, the workshop addressed gender-based violence, highlighting the various types that can emerge in disaster situations, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The agenda concluded with a focus on sanitation and hygiene and their important function in health, incomes, school participation, self-respect, and structure resilient communities. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed his appreciation to all participants
, stressing the significance of their contributions to their communities."Women and youth are key to the success of the ACWA job. More importantly, you are the champions and future leaders who will return to your communities to empower others,"he said. Throughout the workshop, participants went to 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. The setup is a crucial component of the job, matched by assistance from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The check out served as an important direct experience of the favorable impact of the ACWA job on the community and its
water resources. Marie Naisher from Jabat Island revealed her appreciation for the opportunity to join the workshop and explained her desire to be part of the job when it reaches Jabat.

Don Kobney, an ACWA website organizer from Santo, Kwajalein, also shared his enjoyment."The workshop and site see improved my self-confidence and understanding of the water tank installation.
Seeing the 15,000-gallon flatpack modular water tank firsthand gave 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, participants were much better equipped to comprehend environment modification and its local effects, drive adaptation and mitigation efforts, particularly in water safety, and use brand-new resources to affect their neighborhoods favorably. ACWA is enabled thanks to the assistance 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 Assesses the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two more comprehensive assessments- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the occupation and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and women in the external islands. Appropriate local proficient workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of properly competent foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality between readily available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to offer well-trained workers required for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national abilities training system. The job consisted of four components: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, improved abilities training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, particularly females and youth in the external islands. In general, the task was rated not successful. Limited progress was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The job was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has actually remained essentially the exact same after task completion. The study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
dedication to developing a devoted labour information system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the job set up a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
