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

ACWA is enabled 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 efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two broader assessments- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points 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 government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Ideal local competent workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch between readily available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to provide trained workers required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project consisted of four parts: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, boosted abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, especially women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the job was rated unsuccessful. Restricted development was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The job was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and trade education training system has stayed essentially the exact 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 federal government's
commitment to establishing a devoted labour info system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
