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.

By 2026 more people, particularly women and youth, participate in and benefit from a more diversified, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth based on increased production, productivity, and greater value-added chains (CF 2)
This refers to the CO interventions contributing towards professionalization, job creation and income generation for rural women and young women by fostering their transition from less formal, vulnerable and subsistence occupations, to decent and sustainable work, as well as, increase climate resilient agribusiness opportunities. This will help diversified sources of income and secure access to and control over productive assets.

UN Women reports on this indicator in a global scope, signified by "(Desk Review)" at the end of the indicator statement (see the Our Global Results page for the global result)
Common indicators are those that appear verbatim the same in at least two entities' results frameworks and are drawn, where possible, directly from other globally agreed frameworks.
Common
Complementary indicators are identified as those in the results framework that are not repeated verbatim in the results framework of another United Nations entity, but are related or provide different but complementary lenses or insights into the same issue, high-level result and/or area of complementary work, such as a Sustainable Development Goal target.
Complementary
Women and young women, particularly those facing intersecting and multiple forms of discrimination, including in humanitarian settings have improved access to decent work and economic opportunities, including vocational training, innovative ICT skills for digital inclusion, financial and business development, and extension services (e.g coding, FinTech, and mobile money) - (aligned with CF 2.2) (SN Output 1.3.1)
In addition to results reported by UN Women field offices (shown here), results achieved in countries and territories through the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UNTF) are included in a non-duplicative manner in the global reporting on this indicator (see the Our Global Results page).

Strengthened economic and social participation of women farmers and young women in promising value-chains
A total of 324 survivors of violence became part of the chicken and sesame seeds value chains in Manica Province with UN Women support as part of the SI. This was achieved by exposing identified target group to the the UN Women CO economic empowerment model which emcompasses financial literacy, coaching for constitution and running village savings and loans groups, provision of business startup kits, business management and entrepreneurship training ( https://africa.unwomen.org/en/stories/feature-story/2022/08/unleashing-young-womens-entrepreneurial-potential-in-mozambique ). Those interested in poultry farming in a total of 240, the UN Women responsible partner established a formal partnership through an agreement with the lead poultry farming private company in the Province, Higest, to include the women in thie value chain. As a result, the women had access to (chicks , food and medicines), technical assistance as well as guaranteed market for they production at the end of each cycle. Another agreement was entered with a local hotel to absorb the production. For another 84, an agreement was entered with the District Government Services of Economic Activities for them to join the Seasem Seeds value chain. As a result, the women had access to training, seeds and technical assistance including to commercialize. In 2022, the first group was able to commercialized 500KG and earned 33,000MZN ($500), the second commercialized 150KG and earned 15,000MZN ($250) while the third groupreceived seeds to start the activities in the next season. These initiatives are meant to help women engage in high value value chains to be able to generate steady income with potential to grow thus become economically empowered.Disclaimer and notes
