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.

Result: T Results: Towards promoting an environment for women and girls in Tanzania to freely participate and benefit from government institutions and systems that promote peace and justice, are gender-responsive, inclusive, accountable, and representative, the National Gender and Women Development Policy for Tanzania Mainland was approved in 2023 and will serve as the national framework to foster gender mainstreaming, gender equality and women's empowerment through its implementation and localization within sectoral plans and budget via the coordination of the Ministry of Community Development Gender Women and Special Groups. In parallel, the President's Office for Public Service Management and Good Governance (PO PSM GG) launched its Gender Mainstreaming Guidelines for the Public Sector which will support gender mainstreaming and increased gender equality and leadership of women in the public sector. In addressing the challenges of underrepresentation of women in elected positions and at leadership positions at the local level, in 2023 the Country Office continued to demonstrate its commitment to upholding the role of women in leadership and decision making by supporting a comprehensive gender analysis of three Bills related to elections and political parties (The National Electoral Commission Bill of 2023, The Political Parties Affairs Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2023 and the Presidential, Parliamentary, and Councilor Elections Bill) that were presented in Parliament to identify gender gaps and provide recommendations to promote voice and leadership of women at different levels but also to assist the Parliamentary Committee in strengthening the Bills to advance women’s leadership and political Participation. Furthermore, the National Electoral Commission (NEC) was also supported to finalize its first Gender Strategy which will facilitate the promotion of gender equality in its internal systems and election processes. The Draft NEC Strategy addresses several areas including, the provision of civic and voter education, the updating of the voter registry, overall participation of women including women with disabilities in the entire administration and management of elections, and issues related to violence against women in politics (VAWP). There has also been a significant shift and emphasis in Tanzania on financing for gender equality indicating growing recognition of the crucial role of women in achieving sustainable development and inclusive economic growth. This year, several actions have been taken to implement gender targets in the public financial management reform programme VI particularly capacity strengthening of government officials on Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB), Operationalization of GRB coordination mechanism and more call to action from the ministry of finance, gender to sectorial ministries. The Tanzania Minister for gender in her speech during the high-level ministers of finance meeting hosted in Tanzania highlighted Tanzania’s commitment to introduce a monitoring system for GRB through the National Audit Office. Moreover, Tanzania has seen an improved enabling policy environment and financial situation for gender data and statistics due to the progressive support by UN Women to national Statistical System (NSS). The current infrastructures of gender statistics are well established and functional as a result of constituting the statistics units system in National Bureau of Statistics (NBS)/ Office of Chief Government Statistician (OCGS), gender statistics strategies, establishing coordination mechanism, availability of gender statistics SDG indicators and increased capacity of producers on gender statistics. There is reduction of gender data gap due to the continuous efforts to support national statistical offices since 2018. Since 2021, data related to crime statistics including GBV were produced with detailed disaggregation in Zanzibar which were compiled from the routine data by police. New data will be available from VAW survey in Mainland. The use of gender data has improved and continues to improve in Tanzania as a result of the various activities implemented and on-going within the framework of the Women Count In 2023, detailed disaggregated data related to crime statistics, including Gender-Based Violence (GBV), were compiled in Zanzibar from routine police data. Mainland also contributed new data from a VAW survey. The use of gender data continued to improve, with users and producers engaging in dialogues on crime statistics in Zanzibar each month. In addition to this, the Tanzania National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security (TNAP on WPS) reached its finalization and validation stages with the involvement of the Women Peace and Security National Taskforce. The impending adoption of this plan in 2024 seeks to support increased participation and leadership of women and young women in peace and security processes at both national and local levels. The implementation of the TNAP will encompass 12 line Ministries and 8 regions, ensuring ongoing gender mainstreaming in key sectors and mechanisms like Peace and Security Committees and the Judiciary. Throughout the TNAP development process, representatives from Civil Society Organizations, Women's Rights Organizations, Organizations of Women Living with Disabilities, and Networks of Women Living with HIV were actively consulted and integrated. Their invaluable input ensured that the needs and perspectives of women were accurately incorporated into this transformative plan.
