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 Evaluates the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 more comprehensive evaluations- the regional assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the trade 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 women in the external islands. Suitable regional proficient personnel for existing task vacancies

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

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to offer trained workers needed for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task included four components: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, improved abilities training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, particularly women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was rated unsuccessful. Minimal development was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies

amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has remained basically the exact same after project completion. The study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government’s

commitment to developing a committed labour info system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task established a labour market information system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
