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 reported for 2022 results against this indicator was obtained as part of a learning process on social norms and therefore may not accurately reflect the results obtained. Internal reviews of data collected on social norms across relevant indicators, coupled with external reviews, are informing the design of UN Women’s principled approach to social & gender norms change. This will be reflected in changes to the indicators to be introduced in the Mid-Term Review of the Strategic Plan.
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.

Women, including those in refugees/ IDPS camps and other vulnerable situations, experience enhanced safety, security, physical and mental health, and their human rights respected in conformity with ratified regional and international instruments
Thanks to the continuous support of government service providers in the justice, health and social sectors, the media and civil society organizations, VAWG survivors, of whom around 96% are women and girls, continue to have improved access to coordinated, quality care services and more opportunities for socio-economic recovery across the country. This was made possible through the combined work of continued mobilization of key community actors to promote positive practices conducive to VAWG prevention, and capacity building of service providers and community members to provide community-based support for VAWG survivors. Thus, 2 more radio programs were broadcasted based on social norm change, awareness raising on GBV and reporting mechanisms for VAWG, and referral system, including community-based reporting mechanisms for VAWG. More than 850 men and women inclunding community leaders, repatriates and IDPs from Muyinga and Kirundo provinces participated in these programs. In addition, thanks to the partnership between UPV and CACEDEBU, 45 peace clubs and 45 women's and girls' cooperative groups, whose members have increased their capacity to manage community and family conflicts, are now conducting inter-community dialogues on ending violence against women and strengthening social cohesion. A total of 180 women members of these peace and cooperative groups also improved their skills in organizing community dialogues, conflict prevention and resolution, and ending GBV. As a result, 12 inter-community dialogues on ending VAWG and how to strengthen the community roles in supporting VAWG Survivors were organized by women from peace groups in the provinces of Kirundo and Bujumbura. Again with the aim of strengthening VAWG prevention through mindset and practices change that perpetuate VAWG, a total of 5 campaigns and other social mobilization events on women’s right implemented in close collaboration or partnership with the Ministry of National Solidarity, Social Affairs, Human Rights and Gender, UN agencies, and implementing partners led to a mobilization of government partners, women’s movements and networks, civil society and women's rights organizations, UN system, and individuals to show progress and to make commitments in EVAWG. These are: The international woman Day 2023 which brought together more thousands of women and men in the commemorative ceremonies. The 16 days campaign of activism against gender-based violence was launched under the leadership of the First Lady of Burundi: More than 2,000 women and men took part in the launching ceremonies celebrated were touched by calls for action to end VAWG in official speeches, dances, and other traditional artistic expressions. Two Media campaigns on EVAWG prevention and community referral mechanisms and support to VAWG Survivors which touched more than 850 women and men. A “café orange” mobilizing 45 representatives of donors and key diplomatic missions provided a space for sharing information and practices to prevention and response to VAWG. In providing quality services to VAWG survivors, eight civil society organizations namely UPV, AJAP, Saemaul Undong Burundi, APFB, AFAPD, FNF, AFM, and CACEDEBU, continue to deliver and to monitor community-based organizations in organizing intergenerational dialogue on ending VAWG, trauma healing, reconciliation and promotion of positive social norms and delivering goods for women.Disclaimer and notes
