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.
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.

Women led Organizations are actively engaged in the Gender in Humanitarian (GiHA) Working Group. The access for women to economic resources has been improved through livelihood initiatives, small businesses were started by our Women beneficiaries while acquiring valuable management skills. During the last quarter of 2023 (September-December), 60,892 people (43,462 women, 17,430 men) were reached through humanitarian and protection activities of 5 CSOs implementing partners in 3 geographic Departments (West, Artibonite and Norwest). Thanks to awareness raising and advocacy activities, more than 42,000 people in the West Department have a better knowledge of the prevention and access to GBV response, family planning and HIV prevention services. Moreover, 40 women in Artibonite and the West Department are now better equipped to lead and coordinate humanitarian actions during crisis period and more than 200 women have had access to medical and legal services and have been trained to better cope with and avoid situations of violence in their respective communities. UN WOMEN partners established the "refuge pa’m" (mon Refuge) mutual solidarity program to help women in this community recover from the effects of conflict and gender-based violence. Initial progress included distribution of cash support (25,000 gourds/$190 USD) to 25 women to launch income generating activities. This mutual solidarity is a form of solidarity economy that will allow women to grow together economically and support each other in situation of violence and discrimination. Some innovative approaches like peer education have raised more than 300 women community educators on SGBV prevention and human rights.Disclaimer and notes
