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.
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.
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.
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.

The draft amendment bills (The Penal Code, Child Care, Protection and Justice Act and the Gender Equality Act) were reviewed and submitted to parliament. The Penal Code was included on the list of bills to be deliberated in the November 2022 sitting of parliament (2022 Supplementary budget session) and the bill passed. Lobbying with parliamentarians shall therefore focus on the remaining two bills, namely the Child Care, Justice and Protection Act and the Gender Equality Act. The lobbying meetings are to take place during the first quarter of 2023.Disclaimer and notes
