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.

During 2023, the UN Women Country Office in CAR worked hard to implement its normative mandate. Thanks to the technical and financial support provided to women's organizations, to the National Election Authority through the Gender and Election Technical Group, and to the Ministry in charge of women's affairs, the draft revision of the Electoral Code (gender-sensitive) was validated by consensus at the end of a national validation workshop and forwarded to the National Assembly for adoption. The same is true of the texts implementing the Parity Law, notably the texts on the organization and operation of the National Observatory for Gender Parity in CAR. The Country Office's technical and financial support enabled women's organizations belonging to the Gender and Election Technical Group to mobilize all other women's organizations and girls' associations around a workshop to formulate women's recommendations for the revision of the electoral code. The memorandum containing the women's recommendations was read during the national workshop to validate the electoral code, and was taken into account, in particular the women's main recommendation to delete paragraph 2 of article 281 of the electoral code, which gives political parties the option of not respecting the minimum quota of 35% prescribed by the law on parity. the UN Women Central African Country Office supported the Government in the preparation of the CAR Country Report for the Universal Periodic Review, as well as the review of CAR's 6th periodic report under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. Technical assistance was provided in the preparation of these reports, and the retreat of the drafting committee for both reports was handled by ONU Femmes Centrafrique in partnership with the Human Rights Division. The UN Women Central African Country Office has provided technical assistance to the Government in the preparation of the voluntary national report on the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Entitled "Accelerating Recovery from Coronavirus (COVID-19) and Fully Implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at all Levels," the report will be presented in July 2023 at the High Level Political Forum in New York. The contribution of the Country Office has been substantial in the area of SDG 5 on gender equality.Disclaimer and notes
