i-icon 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. i-icon 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. i-icon 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. i-icon 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.

Strategic Note Outcome Progress Note Showing data of : 2023

By 2027 all people living in Nigeria, especially women, youth, persons with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups, have improved access to job opportunities driven by digitization, skills development, and entrepreneurship to harness the demographic dividend

The CO, facing resource constraints, actively collaborated in 2023 with stakeholders to impact this indicator. Engagements with the Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning aimed to institutionalize gender-responsive planning and budgeting, with concurrent efforts to monitor gender equality expenditure. Collaborations with the National Bureau of Statistics expanded gender data collection and integrated gender responsiveness into the four-year data strategy. The partnership with UNDP focused on the Multidimensional Poverty Index, emphasizing gender as a pillar. In May 2023, the Nigerian government, with UN Women support, launched the National Policy on Women's Economic Empowerment, incorporating affirmative procurement. This milestone underpins ongoing advocacy for similar frameworks across states, with UN Women contributing through comprehensive research, gender-responsive public procurement reviews, and assessments of procurement laws in Federal, Lagos, and Kaduna States. The Gender-Responsive Strategy Costed Action Plan aims to mainstream gender into procurement laws. Additionally, UN Women conducted audits, assessments, and advocacy messages in Lagos and Kaduna States. The CO built up evidence to support the government in developing gender-responsive policies in the maritime and mining sectors, identifying gaps for integration. Despite the lack of an institutionalized system for tracking funding, budget data indicates reduced allocations to the Ministry of Women Affairs in 2024. However, there's an increase in allocations across ministries for women's economic empowerment, signaling a shift in budgetary priorities. The CO's 2023 budget analysis reveals a 69% allocation to SDGs 5.1 and 5.a, contrasting with 1% for SDGs 5.5, 5.6, and 5.b, highlighting an imbalance in addressing diverse gender equality aspects. Consistently observed at the national, state, and donor agency levels, the disproportionate allocation raises questions about the budgetary framework's effectiveness and inclusivity. Notably, the absence of a gender-responsive budgeting component in the 2023 budget call circular signals a departure from previous years.
