World Bank Income Classification:Low IncomeThe 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:YesSince 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:0.575GII 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:0.723GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

Strategic Note Outcome Progress NoteShowing data of :
2023
By 2027 state and non-state actors coordinate and deliver commitments on gender equality and women's empowerment across the humanitarian-development-peace nexus. (UNSDCF Outcome 2)
This outcome has progressed. The UNCT is progressively increasing its accountability and performance towards gender equality . The UN Resident Coordina tor’s Off ice and Gender Theme Group monitor regularly the Gender Markers’ coding and is publicly accessible through the UNCT JWP Dashboard . In 2023, 1 5 3 out of 15 performance indicators (86,6%) “met or exceeded” minimum requirements under the UNCT SWAP Gender Equality Scorecard which is a 10% increase compared to 2022. UN Women, jointly with the RCO coordinated the activities related to the UNCT SWAP Gender Scorecard Implementation and Reporting.
In the context of humanitarian action, 42,327 individuals (28,195 women and girls, 14,132 men and boys), including 17,206 Ukrainian refugees (11,157 women, 1,491 girls, 3,296 men, 1,262 boys) accessed information, goods, and resources in line with the Government commitment to provide protection and UN accountability towards ensuring gender responsive assistance. This represents a little over 14% of the total refugee population staying in Moldova in 2023 and includes assistance addressing a variety of distinct needs of women, men, girls and boys, including protection and child protection (32.2% of beneficiaries), GBV (22%), basic needs (17%), inclusion and livelihoods (16.7%), education (6.5%), health (3% of beneficiaries), and other. 22 local women’s organizations received funding from Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund, while other 16 from the US Department of State, Sweden, Swiss Development Cooperation and the Government of Japan, as the result of UN Women advocacy and technical support, further contributing to localisation of the response by sub-partnering with another 109 grassroots CSOs.
Overall, the refugee response actors in Moldova delivered assistance that better targets the distinct needs of women, girls, men and boys in all their diversity and formulate a gender-sensitive Refugee Response Plan (RRP) for 2024 . This was achieved, as result of gender mainstreaming efforts ensured by the Gender Task Force, led by UN Women and the Platform for Gender Equality, under the Refugee Coordination Forum and in close collaboration of UN Women with UNHCR. The progress on delivering gender sensitive humanitarian assistance is evidenced through the localized Gender Accountability Framework (GAF) report demonstrating a strong commitment of humanitarian actors in Moldova to addressing gender issues with 44% of GAF criteria being fully met and 47% being partially met. Additional efforts and funding are required though to ensure that 100% of the criteria are fully met in the years to come.
The second generation National Programme and Action Plan (NAP) for the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security was endorsed by the Government in 2023 with specific objectives to increase women’s meaningful participation in the security and defense sectors, and conflict negotiations. UN Women provided extensive expert assistance in the consultative drafting and costing of the five-year NAP and supported the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the coordination and implementation of the plan, affirmed through a MoU signed in May 2023.
Concurrently, women and youth enhanced their engagement in gender responsive peacebuilding actions through several flagship initiatives supported by UN Women on both banks of Nistru river.
The Women’s Advisory Board (WAB) members (14) jointly produced, with UN Women expert assistance, two position papers on civil documentation and women’s access to entrepreneurship programmes, both expected to be presented to negotiating parties in 2024. Concurrently, 47 women members of the 3 Women’s Discussion Platforms on the left bank implemented 6 (six) community initiatives advancing social cohesion, including with refugees, as a result of leadership coaching conducted by Un Women in partnership with Centre Resonance. Notably, two of the Platforms started registration procedures as women’s rights organizations in 2023, while 6 women-led CSOs from both banks active in peacebuilding were supported by UN Women institutionally, adopting gender-sensitive internal policies and organizational systems through a small grants programme.
42 young people (25 women, 17 men) from both banks developed 8 innovative digital peacebuilding solutions to bolster cross-river social dialogue, 3 of which will be supported by UN Women in 2024 under the Peacebuilding Fund (PBF) project implemented jointly with UNDP and OHCHR. In addition, championing gender and youth responsive peacebuilding efforts positioned UN Women as a lead actor supporting country’s Women, Peace and Security.
The original ToC and strategy for Outcome 4 remain largely valid. The consistent engagement with women’s organizations, humanitarian actors, development partners and Government enabled UN Women to broker multi-stakeholder partnerships to advance gender-responsive actions across different sectors. Ultimately, this strong positioning enabled UN Women CO to mobilize 1,2 million USD for this outcome in 2023 alone.
