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

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

ACWA is made possible thanks to the support of the Green Climate

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 more comprehensive evaluations- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic 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 joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Ideal local experienced personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of properly skilled foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch in between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied 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 enhance skills training to provide well-trained workers required for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job included 4 elements: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, specifically females and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was rated not successful. Limited development was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The job was supply-driven and might 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 task completion. The research study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to establishing a committed labour information system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with market need. Although the task established a labour market info system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
