The first day of the workshop covered vital issues associated with gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, concentrating on the impacts of environment modification on water security and the out of proportion effects on susceptible groups. The importance of incorporating gender equality and social addition into all job elements was likewise gone over.

ACWA is enabled thanks to the support 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 project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two more comprehensive evaluations- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in skills training and the professional and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Appropriate regional skilled workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of properly competent foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality between offered 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 approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to provide well-trained employees required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The project consisted of 4 elements: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, particularly women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was rated not successful. Limited progress was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The task was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has remained basically the same after project completion. The study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a devoted labour information system to link 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 completely operational.
