Republic of the Marshall Islands: The fourth

Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has just recently happened at the University of the South Pacific’s school in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(rmi national training council ). This essential 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 aimed to empower females and youth with the knowledge and practices needed for climate-resilient water security management in the

Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training reinforces a commitment to enhancing RMI’s water security and neighborhood resilience versus climate change effects, specifically females

and youth, guaranteeing that no one is left behind. The training invited participants from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from government agencies, non-governmental companies, 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 collective action in constructing a climate-resilient country.”It is our obligation to come together and work together. As we face the difficulties presented by climate change, comprehending its influence on our water resources is important for enhancing the well-being of neighborhoods across the Marshall Islands,”she said.

RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the vital role of females and youth in dealing with climate-related obstacles.”This workshop unifies us from numerous communities to deal with the pressing issues we deal with today, including climate-related difficulties, especially on our water resources.”We wish to stress the important function of females and youth in this task as your participation contributes to its success and beyond, “she said.

The very first day of the workshop covered critical problems connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the effects of environment change on water security and the disproportionate results on vulnerable groups. The significance of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all project aspects was also discussed. Human rights and human trafficking were taken on, worrying the requirement for detailed defense of vulnerable populations

during emergencies. Additionally, the workshop dealt with gender-based violence, highlighting the numerous kinds that can arise in catastrophe circumstances, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The program concluded with a concentrate on sanitation and health and their important role in health, livelihoods, school participation, self-respect, and building durable neighborhoods. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his appreciation to all individuals

, stressing the value of their contributions to their communities.”Women and youth are crucial to the success of the ACWA job. More importantly, you are the champs and future leaders who will go back to your communities to empower others,”he said. During 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 job. The setup is a key part of the task, matched by support from Australia

‘s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The see functioned as an important direct experience of the positive effect of the ACWA job on the community and its

water resources. Marie Naisher from Jabat Island revealed her gratitude for the opportunity to sign up with the workshop and made clear her desire to be part of the task when it reaches Jabat.

Don Kobney, an ACWA website coordinator from Santo, Kwajalein, also shared his enjoyment.”The workshop and site check out increased 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 looking forward to sharing this knowledge with my neighborhood, “he said. By the workshop’s end, individuals were much better equipped to understand environment modification and its regional impacts, drive adjustment and mitigation efforts, particularly in water security, and use brand-new resources to affect their neighborhoods positively. 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 Evaluates the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two more comprehensive assessments- the regional evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high amongst the youth and women in the external islands. Suitable regional proficient workers for existing task vacancies

were unavailable, hence the importation of properly experienced foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality in between offered jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to offer trained employees needed for sustained economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The task included four parts: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, especially ladies and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was ranked not successful. Limited progress was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and could 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 conclusion. 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 connect technical and employment education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task set up a labour market info system, in the lack of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
