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.

Progress toward the achievement of this outcome is on track. Women’s access to Entrepreneurship and decent work opportunities has been enhanced following the adoption of gender responsive national legal frameworks. The Ministry of Labor developed a Gender Mainstreaming Policy, with the technical support of UN Women, aligned with the Economic Modernization Vision (EMV) to inform the design of plans and interventions addressing female unemployment rate of 31.7%. Additionally, women have enhanced employment opportunities as the private sector developed policies to address gender discrimination in the workplace with the technical support of UN Women (sectors covered are; Telecom, Industrial, Engineering, Services and Hospitality). The policies focused on addressing gender-based violence, implementing gender-responsive marketing strategies, fostering equality in procurement processes, embracing gender-inclusive recruitment practices, and prioritizing impactful programs for promoting and mentoring individuals. Through their commitment, these organizations are not only reshaping workplace dynamics but also contributing significantly to the broader societal advancement of gender equality. Through their dedicated commitment, these organizations are not only transforming workplace dynamics but also making substantial contributions to the overall societal progress in achieving gender equality and women's employment.Disclaimer and notes
