The very first day of the workshop covered vital concerns 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 elements was also gone over.

ACWA is made possible thanks to the support 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. Supplies inputs to two wider evaluations- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and ladies in the external islands. Ideal local knowledgeable workers for existing job vacancies

were not available, hence the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign employees. Hence, there was an inequality between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to offer well-trained employees required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The task consisted of 4 elements: development of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, specifically females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Limited progress was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The job was supply-driven and could 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 vocational education training system has remained fundamentally the very same after task completion. The study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government’s

commitment to developing a dedicated labour info system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with market demand. Although the task set up a labour market information system, in the absence of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
