Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has recently happened at the University of the South Pacific's campus in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(rmi national training council ). This vital 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 intended to empower women and youth with the knowledge and practices required for climate-resilient water security management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training reinforces a dedication to boosting rmi national training council's water security and community durability versus climate change effects, especially women

The training invited participants from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from government firms, non-governmental companies, and worldwide 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.

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

The importance of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all task aspects was likewise gone over.

ACWA is made possible 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 performance of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two broader evaluations- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and women in the external islands. Ideal local knowledgeable personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of appropriately proficient foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to provide well-trained employees needed for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The task included four parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, boosted abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, especially females and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Limited progress was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and might not develop 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 fundamentally the exact same after project conclusion. The study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
dedication to establishing a dedicated labour info system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with market need. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
