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.

Women and Girls, especially from particular groups (with disabilities, rural, sexual and gender minorities) from target countries, who experience violence have access to quality essential services (health, social service, police and justice) to recover from violence
This outcome is about increasing access to quality essential services in the health, social services, police and justice systems for women and girl survivors of violence. Work under this outcome focuses on strengthening systems of reporting, and coordination of quality services and support for women who experience violence. This work intersects between multiple focus areas including health, counselling, justice services and coordination.

Frontline service providers have strengthened capacity to provide quality services to gender-based violence survivors
In addition to results reported by UN Women field offices (shown here), results achieved in countries and territories through the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UNTF) are included in a non-duplicative manner in the global reporting on this indicator (see the Our Global Results page).
The Pacific Partnership to End Violence against Women and Girls Program and relationships between implementing partners and with donors are efficiently managed and coordinated to meet quality programming standards

Women and Girls, especially from particular groups (with disabilities, rural, sexual and gender minorities) from target countries, who experience violence have access to quality essential services (health, social service, police and justice) to recover from violence
Despite community transmission of COVID-19 in Kiribati, Solomon Islands and Tonga, women and girls in all their diversity were able to continue to access quality gender-based violence (GBV) services from essential service providers as a result of UN Women coordinated preparedness activities developed and implemented in partnership with national women’s machineries and civil society organizations (CSOs). For the first time ever, women and girls from more rural and hard to reach locations had access to survivor-centred response services, with the capacity of frontline workers built and rollout of Solomon Islands, Kiribati and Fiji service delivery systems rolled out to outer islands/provinces/divisions. In response to the volcano-tsunami-COVID crisis in Tonga, women and children received access to essential services and psychosocial support through holistic mobile services including GBV essential and non-essential through the Tonga Women and Children’s Crisis Center. Within 24 hours, local responders were at the helm on conducting safety audits and providing culturally-relevant counselling and referral support to the most at-risk women and girls. Also, UN Women significantly enhanced the Government of Tonga’s capacity to respond to emergencies by strengthening existing systems and mechanisms of the national women’s machinery. Moreover, GBV referral data is now kept safely and confidentially, with coordinated systems and tools in place to support this. Members of the Kiribati and Solomon Islands SafeNet/SAFENET networks now have the knowledge and skills to use the GBV administrative data system. Finally, Kiribati’s Ministry of Women, Youth, Sports and Social Affairs (MWYSSA) has for the first time formally registered GBV counsellors on the national government registry for Domestic Violence (DV) Counsellors, a milestone in ensuring standardized, safe and best practice delivery of GBV counselling. Regional efforts culminated in a historic Regional Services Symposium that brought together over 100 diverse representatives from across the region to articulate and come to consensus on key recommendations to drive service delivery quality in the region. An Outcomes Document articulates key areas of focus and lays out the first regional roadmap for responding to survivors of gender-based violence. The recommendations informed the 3 rd Regional Working Group on DV Legislation and are a key document to inform the Pacific Leader’s Gender Equality Declaration alongside other regional frameworks.Disclaimer and notes
