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 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 women and youth with the understanding and practices required for climate-resilient water safety management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ). This training reinforces a commitment to improving RMI's water security and neighborhood strength versus environment change impacts, especially females
and youth, ensuring that nobody is left. The training welcomed individuals from all 24 atolls and included resource speakers from federal government companies, non-governmental organizations, and international 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 national training council 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 nation."It is our responsibility to come together and work together. As we deal with the difficulties positioned by environment change, understanding its influence on our water resources is vital for improving the well-being of communities throughout the Marshall Islands,"she stated.
RMI Environmental Protection Authority General Manager Moriana Philip highlighted in her speech the essential role of women and youth in dealing with climate-related challenges."This workshop unites us from various communities to resolve the pressing problems we face today, including climate-related obstacles, especially on our water resources."We want to emphasize the crucial function of women and youth in this job as your involvement is instrumental to its success and beyond, "she said.
The very first day of the workshop covered important problems related to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the impacts of environment modification on water security and the disproportionate results on susceptible groups. The importance of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all task elements was likewise gone over. Human rights and human trafficking were dealt with, stressing the need for thorough defense of susceptible populations
during emergency situations. In addition, the workshop attended to gender-based violence, highlighting the numerous types that can occur in disaster circumstances, such as domestic violence and sexual coercion. The program concluded with a focus on sanitation and hygiene and their important role in health, incomes, school attendance, dignity, and building durable communities. ACWA Project Manager Koji Kumamaru expressed his appreciation to all participants
, emphasizing the significance of their contributions to their communities."Women and youth are crucial to the success of the ACWA job. More notably, you are the champs and future leaders who will go back to your communities to empower others,"he stated. Throughout the workshop, individuals 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 task. The installation is an essential component of the task, matched by assistance from Australia
's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The see functioned as an important direct experience of the positive effect of the ACWA project on the neighborhood and its
water resources. Marie Naisher from Jabat Island expressed her gratitude for the chance to join the workshop and explained her desire to be part of the task when it reaches Jabat.
"This was my very first time taking part in such training, and I learned so much from the visitor speakers, group activities, and the site see. I now understand the significance of clean water and how to sanitize it. I'm excited about the ACWA task coming to Jabat and ready to assist when it shows up,"she said. Don Kobney, an ACWA site planner from Santo, Kwajalein, also shared his excitement."The workshop and site visit increased my 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 anticipating sharing this understanding with my neighborhood, "he said. By the workshop's end, individuals were better equipped to understand climate change and its local effects, drive adaptation and mitigation efforts, particularly in water safety, and make use of brand-new resources to affect their communities positively. ACWA is made possible thanks to the support of the Green Climate
Fund, with the task co-financed by the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands
. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 more comprehensive assessments- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment research 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, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the trade and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and women in the external islands. Ideal regional experienced workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of properly proficient foreign workers. Hence, there was an inequality between available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to supply trained workers required for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job consisted of four parts: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, boosted abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, specifically females and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was rated not successful. Restricted progress was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The job was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has actually stayed basically the exact same after task completion. The study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a dedicated labour details system to link technical and trade 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.
