This essential 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 aimed to empower ladies and youth with the knowledge and practices required for climate-resilient water security management in the<br><br>Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training enhances a commitment to enhancing RMI's water security and community resilience versus climate change impacts, especially ladies <br><br><br>and youth, guaranteeing that nobody is left behind. The training welcomed individuals from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and worldwide 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, highlighted the significance of cumulative action in building a climate-resilient country."It is our obligation to come together and work together.

It consisted of conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the effects of environment change on water security and the out of proportion impacts on vulnerable groups. The significance of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all task aspects was likewise talked about. Human rights and human trafficking were tackled, worrying the need for thorough defense of susceptible populations<br><br><br>during emergency situations. Furthermore, the workshop addressed gender-based violence, highlighting the numerous forms that can arise in disaster circumstances, such as domestic violence and sexual coercion. The program concluded with a concentrate on sanitation and hygiene and their essential role in health, livelihoods, school presence, dignity, and building resistant neighborhoods. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed his appreciation to all individuals<br><br><br>, stressing the importance of their contributions to their communities."Women and youth are key to the success of the ACWA project. More importantly, you are the champions and future leaders who will return to your communities to empower others,"he said. Throughout the workshop, participants visited Rongrong Island and analyzed 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 key element of the task, matched by assistance from Australia<br><br>'s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

ACWA is made possible thanks to the support of the Green Climate<br><br><br>Fund, with the job co-financed by the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands<br><br><br>. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two broader examinations- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the employment and technical education system.<br><br><br>These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and females in the outer islands. Ideal regional skilled personnel for existing job vacancies<br> were not available, hence the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign employees. Hence, there was an inequality between readily available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government<br>of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to provide well-trained workers required for continual economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated national abilities training system. The job consisted of 4 elements: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, improved abilities training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, specifically ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the project was rated unsuccessful. Limited development was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies<br><br>among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and could 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 occupation education training system has remained fundamentally the same after project conclusion. The study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's<br><br>commitment to establishing a committed labour details system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task established a labour market details system, in the lack of internal staff capability at the [https://www.unescap.org/sites/default/d8files/2023-08/ESCAP-2023-RP-Marshall-Islands-National-Investment-Policy-Statement.pdf National Training Council], it was not fully operational.
