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.
Population:209,497,025

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.

This outcome is on track and is partially achieved already. T he member states of the League of Arab States (LAS) have increased their knowledge and capacities to implement gender responsive policies and programmes that work towards the achievement of SDG5 by finalizing the first review of the Cairo Declaration by 21 member states and translating its attachments to English. Furthermore, t hrough the Gender Justice and Equality Before the Law I nitiative , 15 Member States shared their legislative updates; member states issued 39 legal texts to contribute to enhancing the situation of Arab women and made 16 positive changes in terms of dashboard scores. Lastly, attendees at the two consultations on the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action after 30 years (B+30) gained more knowledge on data platforms to support preparation of national reviews and mainstream gender in VNRs. The consultation series , which is ongoing up to 2025, is inclusive (CSOs, marginalised groups, youth networks etc. ) and demonstrates an interactive process of building a strong and inclusive foundation to inform the national/regional reports. The TOC remains relevant. One lesson learned from the first consultation to the next is to provided practical exercises in the session that MS representatives can action on in relation to their country context which has been incorporated into successive consultations. Impact results cannot yet be commented on as the process has just begun and runs up to 2025. The results are evidenced by the documents attached here. ROAS contributed to these changes by providing data during the consultations regarding the Beijing Platform for Action and the Gender Justice before the Law update. ROAS also provided technical expertise to develop WPP pro docs in Jordan and Lebanon, for the Cairo Declaration review, design and translation, and for the regional meeting on women with disabilities.Disclaimer and notes
