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.

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.

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.

The implementation of strategic actions has significantly strengthened the institutional capacity of the Bolivian state, providing key rights safeguarding entities with improved conditions for the exercise of their functions related to the respect and promotion of human rights, with a particular focus on women and girls. To achieve this, the generation of evidence has been crucial, focusing on the collection, systematization, and analysis of data. This approach addresses the state of compliance with commitments made by the Bolivian state regarding human rights, as well as the internal institutional context of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Indigenous Autonomous Governments. This has facilitated a better understanding of the challenges and gender disparities affecting indigenous women and girls. UN Women technical assistance has translated these insights into concrete normative proposals for local economic development and economic empowerment of indigenous Guaraní women. Notable progress has been observed in Charagua Iyambae and Kereimba Iyaambae, with planned proposals for 2024. Additionally, the development of an Institutional Gender Policy by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs represents a significant step towards realizing gender equality across all areas of institutional culture, contributing to the broader goal of depatriarchalization. The validation of this information in participatory spaces has solidified this evidence into essential consultation and working tools for these institutions and for female candidates, elected officials, and authorities at various government levels, as well as public officers. It also reflects an institutional political will and establishes a replicable methodology for other institutions. On the other hand, capacity strengthening has been crucial to ensure that both state institutions and their authorities are equipped with the knowledge to address challenges in achieving gender equality. Nationwide and subnational training initiatives, in partnership with the Supreme Electoral Tribunal, the State Autonomy Service, and indigenous governments, have contributed to the understanding of public management and normative development through a gender perspective. This empowers authorities to reflect on the rights of indigenous women and girls within the framework outlined in General Recommendation CEDAW/C/GC/39. Strengthening efforts have translated into the creation and dissemination of Guides to report harassment and political violence, serving as precise operational tools for politically active women. Additionally, there has been an improvement in the human rights monitoring infrastructure for women by the Ombudsman's Office. Coordinated efforts with governmental and civil society actors, a UN Women strategy, have heightened the relevance of gender-focused data, provided authorities with necessary information for informed decisions, developed strategies to close gaps, and raised awareness. The collective results significantly impact the conditions of Bolivian state institutions, promoting egalitarian agendas, fostering a culture of peace, facilitating violence-free women's political participation, and prioritizing gender equality in policy and budget design.Disclaimer and notes
