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.
Capacities of state institutions and civil society are strengthened to implement and demand the implementation of legislation to end violence against women and other forms of discrimination.

The Country Office has made significant strides towards strengthening the capabilities of a wide range of institutional and civil society actors to contribute effectively to reducing the levels of violence against women, ensuring essential services for victims. The efforts have reached the most marginalized populations through the development of Joint Models to assist women and girls in situation of violence. This work was developed in the municipalities of Curahuara de Carangas, San Pedro de Totora and Huayllamarca in the Department of Oruro; Huatajata; Chua; Cocani, Coro Coro and Comanche of the Department of La Paz; Moro Moro and y Trigal of the Department of Santa Cruz through the creation of the Inter-Institutional Alliance Network with municipal authorities. With UN Women’s work, 982 indigenous women were reached through joint model services. Building upon UN Women's Joint Models, the Vice Ministry of Equal Opportunities launched a network-driven approach, establishing 20 "Local Networks. Moreover, UN Women has spearheaded a groundbreaking rehabilitation program for aggressors, implemented in collaboration with the Ombudsman's Office. This program has reached 512 male aggressors, offering a unique path towards accountability and positive change. Additionally, UN Women has strengthened capacities of the National Police, the Bolivian University System and the Ministry of Presidency working on sexual harassment in public spaces and building a strategy to prevent TF GBV. In another crucial development, UN Women has successfully developed the first Virtual Survey for People with diverse sexual orientation, and gender identity and expression in Bolivia. The report named Unequal before the Law reveals inequalities and rights violations faced by LGTBIQ+ Community, paving the way for more effective advocacy and support. Technical assistance was provided by UN Women to develop communication strategies and normative tools to prevent different forms of violence against women and girls, such as #VirtualisReal campaign and the campaign #Itis Harassment and raise awareness on sexual harassment women face in public spaces and on gender-based violence facilitated by technology.Disclaimer and notes
