The value of integrating gender equality and social addition into all project elements was also talked about.

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 wider evaluations- the regional assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and women in the outer islands. Suitable regional skilled personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of appropriately proficient foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply trained employees required for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The project included four parts: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, especially ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was ranked not successful. Minimal development was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and could 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 employment education training system has actually stayed basically the same after project conclusion. The study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
dedication to establishing a devoted labour info system to connect technical and employment education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the job established a labour market details system, in the absence of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
