The first day of the workshop covered important concerns connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the impacts of climate change on water security and the out of proportion results on vulnerable groups. The value of incorporating gender equality and social inclusion into all task aspects was likewise talked about.

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive examinations- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the trade and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high amongst the youth and females in the outer islands. Ideal local skilled personnel for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of properly skilled foreign employees. Hence, there was an inequality in between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered 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 skills training to provide trained workers needed for sustained economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The task included four components: development of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, particularly females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was rated unsuccessful. Minimal development was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
among 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 job was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has actually remained fundamentally the exact same after task conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to establishing a dedicated labour info system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with market demand. Although the job set up a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
