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.

In 2023, UN Women Colombia made significant progress on outcome 1.2 (on track), empowering more than 5,200 persons (85% women and girls) through the strengthening of their advocacy, political and economic capacities thanks to the implementation of competitive funding mechanisms for civil society organizations (funded by WPHF and KOICA). With the support of KOICA , 12 CSOs have advanced in the implementation of 26 productive initiatives that promote rural women’s leadership in agricultural local businesses in the context of peace implementation, with a focus on PDET municipalities. The CSOs implemented a socio-demographic characterization that identified the training needs of 835 rural women (58% afro-descendent and 15% indigenous women). The identified characteristics and needs motivated the adaptation of training plans to better respond to the educational level and ethnic belonging of the women that will be benefiting from them. Alongside, KOICA has supported the capacity-building of 288 public servers of the Local Gender Offices on matters related to gender equality and women’s economic empowerment. Thanks to competitive funding mechanisms for civil society led by the Technical Secretariat of UN Women together with the programme team, 25 CSOs have been implementing projects as a part of the Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) call for proposals. As such, 25 CSOs (including 1 youth, 4 afro-Colombian, 2 rural and 1 transgender women CSOs) are implementing projects that benefited 4450 women and young women and men (including 370 afro-Colombian, 80 indigenous, and 62 transgender women). These include 10 small grants that are strengthening organizational capacities of local CSOs. Through the implementation of the WPHFs projects, 671 women have improved capacities to position the gender-equality and women’s rights agenda within local peace-building spaces, improving their communities’ access to formal and informal justice mechanisms. At the same time, 24 socio-political dialogue mechanism have been promoted, which has allowed women to established stronger strategies regarding the protection of the political participation guarantees in PDET municipalities. As a part of the specific projects, 154 women and 5 organizations are strengthening their productive capacities and income with agroecology, Market fairs and exchange with 104 entrepreneurs and more than 800 consumers were implemented at the local level, together with a Political School for Women to provide effective tools for the understanding of political spaces and advocacy, etc.Disclaimer and notes
