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.

Public policies are efficient, inclusive, territorialized, integrate sustainable development, and are based on data.
Key public actors strengthened their capacities in planning, formulating and implementing inclusive and gender sensitive public policies at national and territorial level, using solid evidence-base and gender-sensitive statistics. Actors particularly strengthened their capacities on gender mainstreaming, gender analysis, gender budgeting and gender sensitive local planning. UN Women Morocco provided technical support to contribute to this result. In partnership with the National Statistics Office (HCP), UN Women developed efficient tools to reinforce production and dissemination of gender statistics in Morocco. In 2023, the Ministry of Economy and Finance built and reinforced national capacities on Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB), with support from Morocco CO. The technical support has led to a series of results, namely public institutions increased their capacities to formulate inclusive and efficient public policies. As of date, several ministries possess a detailed sector gender analysis, outlining gender gaps and issues in their respective sectors and sustained by qualitative and quantitative data. These analyses inform gender-sensitive action plans or roadmaps that will in turn contribute to mainstreaming gender equality within sectoral policies and programmes. To influence public policies and programmes, the Ministry of Finance developed and finalized a national gender marker methodology to apply to all sectoral budgets, which will enable tracking gender-related public expenditures and highlight the financial investment allocated to gender equality, jointly with UN Women Morocco. While the implementation of the gender marker will provide a rough estimate of public budget dedicated to gender equality, the data will illustrate trends over time and shed light on potentially underfinanced gender equality commitments. In 2023, the Ministry of Economy and Finance of Morocco organized a high-level advocacy event on Gender Responsive Budgeting as a driver of change for gender equality, jointly with UN Women Morocco. GRB is adopted by the Government of Morocco as a strategic approach to public finance to ensure inclusive and efficient planning and public spending. Over 200 participants from various countries across the MENA and West African region, representing the public sector (ministries of finance, planning and local authorities), international organizations (World Bank, IMF, AFD) and NGO’s engaged in high level advocacy on GRB. This occurred during a 2-day regional event organized by UNW Morocco and the Ministry of Finance, capitalizing on the momentum generated by the run-up to the Annual Meetings of the World Bank Group and the IMF in Marrakesh. Participants also accessed a platform for South-South exchange in expertise and good practices during a series of technical panels on public finance reforms, gender and climate budgeting, and GRB at territorial level during the conference. The regional conference showcased the longstanding partnership between UN Women and the Ministry of Economy and Finance and its direct outcomes in building the pillars of Morocco’s GRB model. The institutional and legal framework, policies, knowledge, capacities and tools for Morocco are considered an international and regional best practice in GRB implementation. In 2023, significant progress was noted in strengthening the production and dissemination of gender statistics in Morocco. With UN Women support, communication tools for gender-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were developed by the High Commission for Planning, the national NSO to enhance gender statistics and data dissemination. These innovative tools include two video animations on gender-sensitive SDG indicators, four infographics and dynamic graphs illustrating gender inequality, an online web page providing a gender perspective on SDGs and a leaflet on gender-sensitive indicators for SDGs. These knowledge tools enable a wide array of users ( civil society, media, sectoral ministries, policy makers, etc) to easily access and comprehend useful and timely gender sensitive data. The final reports on the household satellite account and the analysis of social norms in Moroccan households were edited in reader-friendly formats, printed, and widely disseminated during the regional gender statistics conference jointly organized by UNECA and UN Women (ESARO & WECARO) in Casablanca, and during a presentation to the MPs from the House of Representatives. Within the framework of the Women Count II strategy, UN Women Morocco and the HCP launched a study on "Evaluation of Policies to Promote Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment in the Labor Market: A Macro-Micro Approach for Morocco". This study will develop a computable equilibrium model integrating the gender dimension and domestic work, to build a sound analytical framework for assessing macroeconomic and microeconomic impacts of policy interventions on gender equality in the labor market, economic dynamics and overall well-being. A study on violence against children as well as a study on estimating the socio-economic cost of economically empowering rural women were also launched by UN Women in Q4 2023. With regards to promoting gender-sensitive governance, local authorities engaged in gender mainstreaming in territorial planning and budgeting with UN Women support. Elected representatives and executives from the 4 regions and communes of Béni Mellal-Khénifra, Tanger-Tétouan-Alhoceima, L'Oriental and Draa Tafilalalt strengthened their capacities on various priorities. Elected representatives (total of 80, of which 60 women) benefitted from training and strengthened their skills in territorial planning, gender tools, advocacy techniques and women's leadership. Members of regional bodies for equity, equal opportunity and gender mainstreaming (IEECAG) (30 women) equipped themselves with skills to submit gender-sensitive proposals and formulate advisory opinions responding in a differentiated way to the needs of men and women. Elected women members of the IEECAGs in 4 regions mobilized partnerships at regional level and developed an action and advocacy plan on gender equality and the role of women in the economic development of their respective regions, as a result of UN Women support.Disclaimer and notes
