The very first day of the workshop covered crucial problems associated with gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the effects of environment modification on water security and the disproportionate results on susceptible groups. The importance of incorporating gender equality and social inclusion into all project elements was likewise gone over.

ACWA is enabled thanks to the assistance of the Green Climate

Fund, with the job co-financed by the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two more comprehensive assessments- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high amongst the youth and women in the outer islands. Appropriate local competent personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch between offered jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort 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 offer well-trained workers required for sustained economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job included four elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved skills training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, particularly females and youth in the external islands. In general, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Limited development was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has actually stayed essentially the same after project conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to establishing a committed labour details system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with market need. Although the project established a labour market info system, in the absence of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
