The week-long capacity-building training intended to empower women and youth with the understanding and practices required for climate-resilient water safety management in the

The first day of the workshop covered vital problems related to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands.

The value of integrating gender equality and social addition into all project elements was likewise gone over.

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two more comprehensive examinations- the regional evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Suitable local skilled workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately skilled foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality in between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to supply well-trained workers needed for sustained economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The project consisted of four parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was ranked not successful. Restricted progress was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The project 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 trade education training system has stayed fundamentally the exact same after task 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 government's
dedication to developing a dedicated labour info system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with market demand. Although the task set up a labour market info system, in the absence of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
