The very first day of the workshop covered important issues related 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 effects on susceptible groups. The significance of integrating gender equality and social addition into all task elements was also talked about.

ACWA is enabled thanks to the assistance 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 Evaluates the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two more comprehensive examinations- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly 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 vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Ideal regional competent personnel for existing task vacancies

were not available, hence the importation of appropriately proficient foreign workers. Hence, there was a mismatch in between readily 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 authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to provide trained workers needed for continual financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The task included four parts: development of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, improved skills training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, specifically females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal progress was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies

among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and trade education training system has actually stayed fundamentally the same after project completion. The research study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's

dedication to developing a dedicated labour information system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task established a labour market info system, in the lack of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
