The week-long capacity-building training intended to empower women and youth with the understanding and practices needed for climate-resilient water security management in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands(rmi national training council ). This training strengthens a commitment to enhancing RMI's water security and community resilience versus environment modification effects, specifically women

The very first day of the workshop covered vital 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 impacts of environment change on water security and the disproportionate impacts on vulnerable groups. The significance of incorporating gender equality and social addition into all project elements was likewise discussed.

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 Evaluates the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two wider evaluations- the regional evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of basic 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 private sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high amongst the youth and ladies in the external islands. Suitable regional skilled workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of properly competent foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch in between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply trained employees needed for sustained economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task consisted of 4 components: development of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, especially females and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the task was ranked not successful. Restricted development was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and could not establish 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 remained fundamentally the very same after project completion. The research study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a devoted labour information system to connect technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry need. Although the job set up a labour market information system, in the absence of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
