ACWA is enabled thanks to the support of the Green Climate

Fund, with the job co-financed by the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two wider assessments- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the external 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 development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and females in the external islands. Suitable regional competent personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of appropriately proficient foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality between offered jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to offer well-trained workers required for continual financial and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The project consisted of 4 parts: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, improved skills training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, specifically females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was ranked not successful. Minimal development was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and could not establish 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 essentially the same after task completion. 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
dedication to establishing a dedicated labour info system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with market demand. Although the task set up a labour market details system, in the absence of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
