The first day of the workshop covered important problems connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the impacts of environment change on water security and the disproportionate impacts on susceptible groups. The significance of integrating gender equality and social addition into all project elements was also talked about.

ACWA is enabled thanks to the support 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 Examines the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 broader assessments- the regional examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Suitable local skilled personnel for existing task vacancies

were unavailable, hence the importation of appropriately proficient foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between offered tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort 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 abilities training to provide well-trained employees required for continual financial and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The task consisted of four components: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, especially females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was ranked not successful. Minimal development was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and might not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has stayed basically the same after task conclusion. The study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's

commitment to establishing a dedicated labour information system to connect technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task established a labour market info system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
