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.

Data on the socio-economic impact of COVID-19 on gender equality is produced
Data on the availability and need for services on violence against women and girls is produced
Nationally representative population-based data focusing on livelihoods, resilience and unpaid care and domestic work is produced
Country-specific data collection tools on disasters/crisis needs assessments include a gender perspective and inform regional guidelines
Gender-responsive COVID-19 policies are regularly monitored and best practices are documented to inform recovery plans
Capacity of governments is strengthened to mainstream gender in evidence-based COVID-19 policies and recovery plans
Timely gender-sensitive data on the impact and responses to crisis, including COVID-19, are produced and their use is promoted to inform policies, programmes, advocacy and research
Since the onset of COVID-19, UN Women has supported the production of evidence to inform crisis responses and related decision-making. For instance, two rounds of Rapid Assessment Surveys were conducted, the first of which covered 11 countries and the second 7 countries. Related nationally representative estimates have been produced and included in publications, which helped shed light on the gender-differentiated impacts of the crisis. Analysis of big data has been conducted across eight Asian countries and four Pacific countries, and publications and events were organized to promote these findings, including uptake for policy making. Finally, an analysis of existing policies in place to respond to the COVID-19 crisis is currently ongoing and expected to generate important findings on the effectiveness of the response and how to improve it.Disclaimer and notes
