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.

Under EVAW, Tanzania witnessed a significant reduction in the prevalence of Violence Against Women (VAW, the prevalence rate decreased from 40% in 2016 to 27% for physical violence and from 17% to 12% for sexual violence among women aged 15–49 (DHS 2023) This decline underscores the impact of coordinated action in addressing VAW, aligning with the objectives of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5.2 to create a society free from all forms of violence. The government's commitment to implementing national plans to end violence against women and children, coupled with enhanced data collection mechanisms and enforcement of laws related to VAW prevention and response, contributed to a more robust framework for combating VAW across all 184 districts in the country. UN Women's collaboration with government entities and stakeholders further strengthened the response to VAW in Tanzania, facilitating evidence-based decision-making and targeted interventions. The evaluation report on Ending Violence Against Women and Children (EVAWC) highlighted improvements in data collection, enabling the development of a multisectoral plan informed by comprehensive VAW-related data.Disclaimer and notes
