The very first day of the workshop covered vital issues connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It consisted of discussions on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the effects of environment modification on water security and the disproportionate effects on susceptible groups. The value of incorporating gender equality and social inclusion into all task elements was also gone over. Human rights and human trafficking were taken on, stressing the need for thorough protection of vulnerable populations


throughout emergency situations.

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two broader evaluations- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination 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 private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Appropriate regional knowledgeable personnel for existing job vacancies
 were unavailable, for this reason the importation of appropriately proficient foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality in between readily available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered 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 improve abilities training to provide well-trained employees needed for sustained economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The project consisted of 4 elements: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, improved skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the task was ranked not successful. Minimal progress was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The project was supply-driven and might not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has stayed basically the same after project conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's

commitment to developing a devoted labour info system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with market need. Although the project set up a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house personnel capability at the [[https://www.unescap.org/sites/default/d8files/2023-08/ESCAP-2023-RP-Marshall-Islands-National-Investment-Policy-Statement.pdf|National Training Council]], it was not fully operational.
