The first day of the workshop covered critical concerns associated with gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the effects of climate modification on water security and the disproportionate effects on vulnerable groups. The significance of incorporating gender equality and social addition into all project aspects was likewise gone over.

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 Assesses the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive examinations- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational 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 weak points in skills training and the trade and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and females in the external islands. Ideal local knowledgeable workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of properly competent foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality in between readily available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply well-trained employees needed for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job consisted of 4 components: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, especially females and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was rated unsuccessful. Minimal progress was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The job 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 fundamentally the same after job completion. The study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
commitment to establishing a devoted labour information system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project established a labour market details system, in the absence of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.eu.org
