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.

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.

While in one hand, Mozambique has made significant progress in the management of land tenure. As a result of combined contributions from UN Women, Women's Rights Organizations and pressure groups the government through its flagship programme "Programa Terra Segura" has set a goal to allocate 700,000 land deeds to Mozambican rural dwellers. 40% of the land deeds where set as the quota for women or shared men-women land deeds. This represents an advancement in the political will to recognize equal opportunities in the access to and benefit from secure land tenure among women and men in a country where women account for the majority of agricultural labor. There is more attention to risks related with land expropriation, discriminatory inheritance practices and the administrative and financial barriers to land security (now set to be USD 35.00 per tittle deed). To allow for a stronger and more inclusive legal framework the country has also embarked into land law reform process. UN Women's contribution consisted of supporting the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADER) with evidence collection on the Cost of the Gender Gap in Agricultural Productivity in Mozambique and the overall support and capacity building of women's organizations platforms. But on the other hand, due to combined impact of natural disasters, conflict, pandemic and poor economic performance the proportion of population living below national poverty has remained high in Mozambique. This is particularly pressing among women and youth operating in the informal sector of the economy.Disclaimer and notes
