. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two more comprehensive examinations- the regional evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high among the youth and women in the external islands. Ideal local proficient personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of properly competent foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch in between offered tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to provide well-trained employees needed for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task consisted of 4 parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, especially women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the job was rated not successful. Minimal development was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or going to voc-tech education could be partly attributed 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 basically the exact same after task completion. The study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
dedication to establishing a dedicated labour info system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task established a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
