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.

Humanitarian planning, response frameworks and programming are gender and protection inclusive and responsive (modified FPI LEAP Outcome 1)
The Fiji MCO will leverage its role as chair of the Pacific Humanitarian Protection Cluster and bring together UN agencies and regional and international humanitarian organisations to identify and fulfil the needs of affected communities. The Cluster aims to integrate gender and protection concerns into humanitarian response. Through this outcome work will continue to build capacity and work with regional and national humanitarian actors in five priority countries (Fiji, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu) to develop tailored gender and protection-sensitive tools and processes, including those for the collection and use of data that is disaggregated by sex, age, disability, sexual orientation and gender identification. The Fiji MCO will further work with the UNCT to leverage the Women, Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) allocation to the Pacific to support local stakeholders’ capacity.

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.
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.

Regional, national and UN humanitarian actors strengthened capacity to incorporate gender and protection into humanitarian action (modified FPI LEAP Output 1.3)
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).

Humanitarian planning, response frameworks and programming are gender and protection inclusive and responsive (modified FPI LEAP Outcome 1)
Progress has been made in developing inclusive, protection and gender-responsive frameworks and programming for improving humanitarian planning and response for Pacific humanitarian actors. Capacity building initiatives have led humanitarian and response actors to better understand which groups are discriminated against the most, which are at risk, and where they are located. Perceptions have begun to shift slowly about meaningful inclusion and non-discrimination. This has enabled actors to develop robust frameworks and programming to better tailor their emergency support to the most vulnerable. In addition, the Pacific Humanitarian Team have also increased the integration of gender and protection in humanitarian planning and response frameworks and programmes. Dedicated support to the Tonga Safety and Protection (S&P) Cluster has increased its capacity to respond to protection needs in a more coordinated way in the wake of the Tonga volcano crisis. Through UN Women’s technical analysis and inputs in these areas, humanitarian planning and response frameworks are ensuring policy language that addresses violence and keeping people safe from harm, addresses discrimination and understanding of people’s different needs, risk, and capacities, and actively addresses exclusion to as to meaningfully ensure the engagement of excluded people. UN Women provided capacity building and technical support to the above initiatives.Disclaimer and notes
