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.

To address this and based on the premise that the participation and leadership of women and girls, in all their diversity, is essential to make climate, environment and disaster risk reduction a reality. UN Women will ensure that: (i) Women and girls, the main farmers, have the technical and financial capacity to participate effectively in national agricultural initiatives resilient to climate change as well as economic alternatives adapted to their needs in times of shocks. (ii) Women and girls in communities affected by natural and man-made shocks have access to livelihoods and resilience through access to dignity kits in a humanitarian context. (iii) Institutional partners, UNS entities, women's organizations and other actors have coordinated approaches and strengthened technical capacities to integrate the differentiated needs of women into their policies, programmes and strategies for preparedness and response to shocks.
