i-icon 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. i-icon 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. i-icon 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. i-icon 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.

By 2027, a strengthened and more coordinated, inclusive, and accountable governance system is in place at the national and local levels enabling all people, especially most marginalised and vulnerable, to be protected, empowered, engaged, and enjoy human rights and social justice, and lead their lives with respect and dignity.

The work on Gender Responsive Budgeting, Inter- governmental processes and Ending violence agains t women has led to GEWE being integrated in governance processes including in the G20 Leader’s declaration of India. UN Women’s work through its various programmes has also resulted in creating significant change in the lives of women and girls by contributing to women emp owerment and growth in economic, social and hu m an develop ment along with strengthening c apacities of st ate and central institutions on gender analysis, safety and accessibility in services and gender-based violence. In 2023, UN Women ICO provided critical technical support to several state governments (Goa, Assam, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Rajasthan), significantly enhancing institutional capacities for addressing violence against women (VAW). Key impacts included: Enhancing Governance Capacities and Institutional Frameworks: Quality inputs in governmental processes, SDG and policy level interventions, developing a framework and facilitating training needs of governments and other stakeholders connected to schemes and policies. Development of roadmaps and facilitation of training needs for government functionaries. India's classification of domestic violence shelter and support services as “essential” post-COVID-19, with 708 One-Stop-Crisis centers remaining operational, aiding over 540,000 women across 35 states and Union Territories. Approval of 758 One Stop Centres in 734 districts nationwide. Adoption of Mission Shakti guidelines to offer survivors of gender-based violence integrated support to facilitate immediate, emergency and non-emergency access to a range of services, including medical, legal, psychological and counselling support.

Collaboration with SEWA BHARAT for cash-for-care initiatives in Uttar Pradesh and Punjab, benefiting 900 women with cash transfers. Significant contributions to policy development and capacity building in various Indian states, as evidenced by: In Kerala, the revision of the Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Policy, a major milestone in promoting gender equity, with its final version set to be released in March 2024. In Rajasthan, the impact of UN Women’s study on Mahila Shakti Kendras [1] (MSKs) and One Stop Centers (OSCs) led to a substantial increase in the number of MSKs from 41 to 246. This expansion marks a significant advancement in the state's commitment to women's empowerment and support services. In Punjab, the country office conducted a rapid assessment study for OSCs in Jalandhar and Kapurthala districts, at the request of the Department of Social Security and Women and Child Development. The study culminated in a comprehensive report with actionable recommendations, which was presented to the Department. UN Women built the capacities of 465 government officials from the Ministry of Skill Development and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, 440 government officials from 20 Departments and 11 Implementing Partners of the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board, 359 government officials from Kerala, and 140 government officials from Rajeevika Rajasthan, on effective implementation of Prevention of Sexual Harassment at workplace, Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal. Strengthening Safety and Advocacy: The country office’s advocacy work and safety initiatives included: Partnerships with Pracademic Lab, Police Department of Madhya Pradesh, and the Tourism Department of Uttarakhand for enhancing women’s safety in tourism destinations. The 16 days of Activism campaign (#AbkoibahanaNahi) reached 1,130 participants through health camps, 271 through art competitions, and registered substantial social media engagement (with 4.28 million reach and 19.3 million impressions). Technological Innovation for Support: Regular monitoring and testing ensured the effectiveness of the Sambal Chatbot, a supportive tool for survivors of violence and their allies. UN Women country office launched SAMBAL on the UN Regional Office website on 29th November 2022. The app is a repository of resources and tools to address violence against women. It has been specifically designed to close the information gap for survivors and allies, and help them understand and navigate various issues related to such violence, such as mental health, medical needs, and legal procedures. Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB) Achievements: U N Women India through its GRB work at central and state level w as able to scale the outreach for GRB engagement to more central m inistries/departments and at state level to 6 new states . UNW ICO strategy is to institutionalise the GRB mechanism at both the levels effectively . One of the significant outcomes of the partnerships of the GRB work by UN Women ICO was the establishment of the project management unit (PMU), at the central nodal ministry- MWCD; which has contributed and supported gender budget analysis of 43 ministries. Government partners at national and sub-national levels gained enhanced knowledge and skills in gender budgeting. Four states (Andhra Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Manipur) adopted and institutionalized Gender Budgeting in state policies, marking a significant step in mainstreaming gender in fiscal policies and practices. Inter-Governmental Processes: providing key advisory support to the Government of India on normative frameworks and addressing crucial gender issues in line with the 2030 Agenda. UN Women in India has been at the forefront of advancing global commitments for gender equality and women’s empowerment/GEWE. ICO collaborated with several ministries and intergovernmental bodies, for providing technical advisory and support to integrate gender considerations into critical G20 priority areas, through its contribution as: The New Delhi Leaders' Declaration, a landmark move under India's G20 presidency, which further highlights the G20 leaders' unequivocal commitment to advancing gender equality and women's empowerment across key parameters, including education (particularly science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), emerging digital technologies, women's entrepreneurship, labour force participation, gender pay gap, care infrastructure, gender-based violence, workplace safety, and financial inclusion, using a life-continuum and "whole of society" approach. The creation of a Working Group on Empowerment of Women is another substantial outcome of ICO during the India's G20 leadership. Continued advocacy from the highest levels of the organization, through the UN Women Deputy Executive Director’s Office, pushed for an increase in and adoption of gender-specific radical commitments at the New Delhi Summit.
