i-icon World Bank Income Classification:Low Income The World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations. i-icon Least Developed Country:Yes Since 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability. i-icon Gender Inequality Index:0.575 GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa. i-icon Gender Development Index:0.723 GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

Strategic Note Outcome Progress Note Showing data of : 2022

The UN system in ESA region is coordinated, and coherently and systematically contributes to progress on gender equality and empowerment of women and girls

The RO's support to the UN system (UNCTs, RCOs and GTGs) was aimed at orienting them on the application of UN tools and guidance (SWAP-Scorecard, the Gender Equality Marker and the Gender Theme Group Standards and Procedures ) to improve integration of gender considerations in the implementation of UNSDCFs and other joint UN plans. In this first year of reporting, the UN system can be characterized as having knowledge and user level competencies to apply these tools and guidance to make their work better coordinated, coherent and systematic. The skilling of UN Women M/CO staff on corporate gender equality tools is also expected to provide in country expertise that the UN system can draw on. A survey of all the UNCTs engaged in 2023 will provide more details on the extent to which the skills imparted are being utilized to improve coordination and bring coherence to their gender equality work.
