Republic of the Marshall Islands: The 4th
Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has actually recently occurred 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) project. The week-long capacity-building training aimed to empower ladies 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 dedication to enhancing RMI's water security and community resilience against climate modification impacts, specifically ladies
and youth, making sure that no one is left behind. The training welcomed participants from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from federal 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, highlighted the significance of collective action in constructing a climate-resilient country."It is our responsibility to come together and work together. As we face the challenges postured by environment change, understanding its influence on our water resources is necessary for enhancing the wellness of neighborhoods across the Marshall Islands,"she stated.
RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the important function of females and youth in dealing with climate-related challenges."This workshop unites us from numerous neighborhoods to resolve the pressing concerns we deal with today, consisting of climate-related obstacles, especially on our water resources."We wish to emphasize the vital role of ladies and youth in this project as your participation contributes to its success and beyond, "she stated.
The very first day of the workshop covered critical concerns connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the impacts of environment change on water security and the disproportionate results on susceptible groups. The value of incorporating gender equality and social addition into all job elements was also discussed. Human rights and human trafficking were dealt with, worrying the requirement for thorough defense of vulnerable populations
during emergency situations. Furthermore, the workshop resolved gender-based violence, highlighting the numerous forms that can develop in disaster circumstances, such as domestic violence and sexual browbeating. The agenda concluded with a focus on sanitation and hygiene and their important function in health, livelihoods, school attendance, dignity, and structure resilient neighborhoods. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru revealed his appreciation to all individuals
, stressing the value of their contributions to their neighborhoods."Women and youth are key to the success of the ACWA task. More notably, you are the champs and future leaders who will return to your communities to empower others,"he stated. During the workshop, individuals visited Rongrong Island and took a look at the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank installed at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA task. The installation is a crucial component of the job, complemented by support from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The see acted as an important firsthand experience of the positive impact of the ACWA project on the community and its
water resources. Marie Naisher from Jabat Island expressed her gratitude for the chance to sign up with the workshop and explained her desire to be part of the task when it reaches Jabat.
"This was my first time participating in such training, and I found out a lot from the visitor speakers, group activities, and the website see. I now understand the importance of tidy water and how to sanitize it. I'm thrilled about the ACWA job coming to Jabat and all set to help when it gets here,"she stated. Don Kobney, an ACWA website coordinator from Santo, Kwajalein, likewise shared his enjoyment."The workshop and website visit boosted my confidence and understanding of the water tank installation.
Seeing the 15,000-gallon flatpack modular water tank firsthand offered me a clear understanding of the system, and I'm looking forward to sharing this understanding with my neighborhood, "he stated. By the workshop's end, participants were better geared up to comprehend climate modification and its regional impacts, drive adjustment and mitigation efforts, especially in water security, and use new resources to affect their neighborhoods favorably. ACWA is made possible thanks to the support 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 Examines the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two more comprehensive examinations- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the trade and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high amongst the youth and women in the external islands. Ideal regional competent workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately competent foreign workers. Therefore, there was a mismatch between readily available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply well-trained employees required for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The project included 4 components: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced skills training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, specifically women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the project was rated unsuccessful. Minimal progress was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The job 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 employment education training system has remained basically the very same after project conclusion. The study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to developing a devoted labour info system to connect technical and occupation education training program offerings with market need. Although the job established a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
