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.

One of the main milestones has been that UN Women has secured funds from Kingdom of Norway for the implementation of the second phase of WPS Programme. The project aims ensure women and girls contribute to and have greater influence in building sustainable peace and resilience and to benefit equally from the prevention of conflicts and disasters in Mozambique. Following the partnership established with academic with academic institutions , UN Women has worked with Joaquim Chissano University in the elaboration of research on the gendered impact of the conflict and violent extremism in Northern Mozambique. As part of Knowledge Sharing, UN Women organized a set of report presentations to partners including donors to share the key findings and recommendations that can inform future programmes on WPS. A Short summary of the study was shared with Partners while the long report is being designed. UN Women has contribuited to increase dialogues on Women,Peace and Security as well as awarness on Global and National norms and policies of women and girls affected by conflict as well as partners, by organizing a national conference on women peace and security in Cabo Delgado. to discuss the importance of women's participation and leadership in the peace, security and recovery processes including Demobilization, Disarmament and Reintegration (DDR) and including of building and consolidating a solid and lasting peace in Mozambique and identifying additional strategies to overcome the challenges as well as a reflection of protection human rights and freedoms of women and girls in the context of increasing violence.
