The importance of integrating gender equality and social addition into all project aspects was likewise gone over.

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive examinations- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in skills training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high among the youth and women in the external islands. Appropriate local knowledgeable workers for existing job vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch between readily available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to provide trained workers needed for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated national skills training system. The job included four parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, particularly females and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was rated unsuccessful. Minimal progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The job was supply-driven and might not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has remained fundamentally the exact same after project conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to establishing a devoted labour information system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with market need. Although the project established a labour market info system, in the absence of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
