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 men in target communities demonstrate support to survivors of violence and practice balanced power in their relationships
Extensive programs are carried out in communities to build and foster positive changes in social norms, attitudes, and behaviors that will prevent VAWG. Under this outcome, UN Women Fiji MCO is undertaking an intensive pilot project at the community level in in Fiji, Kiribati, and X which is going to look at the social norms, attitudes, and behaviors that contribute to VAWG. The pilot is following the SASA model which is one of the approaches that has proven, evidence-based results in reducing incidences of violence at the community level, and stopping violence before it starts. The approach unpacks social norms around violence, power, control and gender inequality”.

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.

This will be reflected in changes to the indicators to be introduced in the Mid-Term Review of the Strategic Plan. 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).
Government partners and civil society organizations have increased capacity to develop and – implement national prevention strategies, policies and programmes to prevent VAWG, including social norms change.
Women and men in target communities demonstrate support to survivors of violence and practice balanced power in their relationships
In 2022, a total of 24,477 individuals were reached by the Strengthening Peaceful Villages (SPV) programme with 13,477 individuals (4,815 F, 4,058 M, 3,061 girls, 1,543 boys) reached through 435 unique community activities and 11,000 reached through roadshows that challenged rigid gender norms and promoted healthy relationships and better understanding of power ‘over’ and ‘within’ in relationships. MWYSSA was intensively supported throughout 2022 to continue to implement the Strengthening Peaceful Villages (SPV) programme. SPV is adapting and implementing the Raising Voices SASA! [1] community mobilization approach, which consists of four phases of social norm change programming (Start, Awareness, Support and Action). The community mobilization approach is targeting half of the country’s population (approximately 52,586 people) across fifteen villages in three areas – Betio, Eita (TUC 1) and Bikenibeu (TUC 2). The programme began in October 2018, with the Awareness phase ongoing for 17 months since June 2021. A further 11,000 women, men, boys and girls were reached through the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence SPV Drama Awareness raising roadshow. SPV staff and Village Activists (VAs) and Village Leaders (VLs) engaged communities in Betio, Bikenibeu and Teaoraereke, promoting positive, healthy relationships, challenging rigid gender norms and using SPV community facilitation tools such as posters and conversation starter kits. SPV aims to work towards change related to what women and men in the community know, how they feel, and what they do . This reflects the SPV approach to creating deep, lasting transformation that touches everyone on a personal level, including people’s understanding, beliefs and actions, across all four phases. The Awareness phase aims to deepen analysis of men’s power over women and the community’s silence about it. [1] https://raisingvoices.org/women/the-sasa-approach/sasa-together/Disclaimer and notes
