The significance of incorporating gender equality and social addition into all task elements was likewise talked about.

ACWA is enabled thanks to the assistance 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 Examines the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 wider evaluations- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Appropriate regional competent personnel for existing job vacancies

were not available, hence the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign employees. Hence, there was an inequality between offered tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to provide trained workers needed for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated national abilities training system. The job included 4 parts: development of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, especially ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal progress was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies

amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or going to voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The task 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 remained fundamentally the same after task completion. The study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's

commitment to developing a committed labour details system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project set up a labour market info system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
