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.

Outcome 5: Women participate in and inform decision-making processes & responses related to conflict prevention, protection and peacebuilding in Niger
In an increasingly dynamic security context that requires appropriate responses at different levels (local, national and cross-border), this outcome aims to support women in order to play a decisive role in preserving peace and social cohesion in their communities. Similarly, this election year offers the opportunity to improve women's political participation in a sustainable way as candidates, voters but also actors of the smooth running of the different elections. This involves sensibilization and training activities, as well as diversifying the roles of already trained women, including community mediators, to invest other roles at higher levels of intervention

Outcome 5: Women participate in and inform decision-making processes & responses related to conflict prevention, protection and peacebuilding in Niger
Significant achievements have been registered in the accomplishment of this result: Six hundred women (youth and adults) are working for social cohesion between farmers and herders in the regions of Dosso, Tillaberi and Maradi through capacity building on topics such as conflict prevention and management, mediation and the culture of peace, these women are now actively involved in conflict prevention and management mechanisms and have increased the participation rate of women by 30%. These women conduct mediation between farmers and herders, mediate between families and communities, and conduct awareness sessions for social cohesion and peace building between communities. Although the project came to end, the activities of these women mediators continue in these two regions. This project was implemented with the technical and financial support of the Peace Building Fund. In addition to that, the same experience was replicated in five communes in the Tillaberi region, again with technical and financial support from PBF whereby two hundred and fifty women have received the same training and are actively involved in peacebuilding in their communities. Furthermore, through their leadership, these women who have been able to militate for the respect and promotion of women's and girls' rights their protection from gender-based violence in case of GANE attacks and their contribution to local governance. Drawing on lessons learned and gaps in the work of women mediators in the Tillaberi region, women mediators in the Tillaberi region are benefiting from official recognition, income-generating activities, and increased participation in local governance.
