The week-long capacity-building training aimed to empower females and youth with the understanding and practices needed for climate-resilient water safety management in the

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.

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 efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two broader evaluations- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Appropriate local competent workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly skilled foreign employees. Thus, there was an inequality between available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to offer trained workers needed for sustained financial and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The project consisted of 4 parts: development of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved skills training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, specifically females and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was rated unsuccessful. Restricted development was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The project was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has stayed basically the very same after project completion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
dedication to developing a committed labour information system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with market need. Although the task set up a labour market info system, in the lack of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
