The very first day of the workshop covered critical issues associated with gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands.

The importance of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all project aspects was likewise discussed.

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 broader evaluations- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in skills training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and females in the external islands. Ideal regional knowledgeable workers for existing job vacancies

were not available, thus the importation of properly experienced foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to supply well-trained workers required for continual financial and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated national abilities training system. The job included four elements: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, especially ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Limited development was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or going to voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The job was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has remained essentially the exact same after task completion. The study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government’s

dedication to developing a committed labour info system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with market demand. Although the project established a labour market details system, in the absence of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
