World Bank Income Classification:UPPER-MIDDLE 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:NO
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:0.13600
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:0.94000
GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

About our work
UN Women has been present in Bosnia and Herzegovina since 2008 when it set up a project office that was strengthened to a Country Office with a resident representative in 2013. The work for gender equality and women’s empowerment focuses on three main areas: gender-responsive governance and leadership, ending violence against women, and women’s economic empowerment.
UN Women supports BiH as it adopts global standards to achieve gender equality and works with governments and civil society to design laws, policies, programs, and services to implement these standards. It coordinates the International Working Group on Gender Equality, a platform where embassies and international organizations exchange information about their work on gender equality and the empowerment of women and their activities in the country. UN Women also chairs the UNCT Gender Theme Group, which ensures gender mainstreaming across UNCT by conducting system wide assessments of progress in GEWE.
