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.

Enhanced access to quality social services, protection and self-reliance opportunities for all people living in vulnerable situations in the country
The Jordanian government has increased ownership of opportunities, women living in vulnerable situations in the country have enhanced access to social protection services and self-reliance opportunities, and men can engage in social norms and behaviour change trainings as a result of the redesigned Oasis programme. UN Women JCO took significant steps to refine its humanitarian programme aligning it with the broader goal of sustainability, resilience, and the long-term impact of Oasis activities. The redesigned Oasis programme represents a transformative LEAP towards sustainability and development, addressing the evolving humanitarian landscape in Jordan. Rooted in findings from the Country Portfolio Evaluation, conducted in 2022, and extensive discussions with key stakeholders, this redesign strategically aligns the programme with the priorities of the Jordan Priority Response Plan (JPRP) and the UN Sustainable Development Framework 2023-2027. Recognizing the ongoing Syrian crisis and the national triple reform agenda, the programme emphasizes resilience and development-based responses grounded in social and gender equality. Beneficiaries actively participate in centre administration and service design, fostering community ownership. Additionally, through the continued strategic partnership with the Ministry of Social Development in Oasis centres in non-camp settings, the programme is able to target vulnerable districts and emphasize community ownership, reflecting a crucial shift towards long-term stability, resilience, and community-driven development. The Women Peace and Security projects have enhanced protection and respond to SGBV for women, through expanding SGBV protection services in different areas in Jordan.Disclaimer and notes
