The very first day of the workshop covered crucial problems connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands.

The value of incorporating gender equality and social addition into all task aspects was likewise talked about.

ACWA is made possible thanks to the assistance 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 performance of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 more comprehensive evaluations- the regional evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment 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 weaknesses in abilities training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and females in the external islands. Appropriate local competent workers for existing job vacancies

were not available, thus the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign employees. Hence, there was an inequality between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied 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 enhance skills training to offer trained employees required for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The task consisted of four components: development of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, improved skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, especially women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was rated not successful. Limited progress was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies

among 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 standard education. The task was supply-driven and might 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 professional education training system has stayed fundamentally the same after job conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's

dedication to developing a devoted labour details system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with market demand. Although the project set up a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
