ACWA is enabled thanks to the support of the Green Climate

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

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two wider assessments- the regional evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Appropriate regional experienced personnel for existing task vacancies

were unavailable, for this reason the importation of appropriately competent foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch in between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to offer well-trained employees required for continual economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated national abilities training system. The job included four components: development of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, particularly women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Limited progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The project was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has actually stayed fundamentally the same after task completion. The research study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government’s

commitment to developing a committed labour information system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with market need. Although the job established a labour market information system, in the lack of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
