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.

UN Women reports on this indicator in a global scope, signified by "(Desk Review)" at the end of the indicator statement (see the Our Global Results page for the global result)
Common indicators are those that appear verbatim the same in at least two entities' results frameworks and are drawn, where possible, directly from other globally agreed frameworks.
Common
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.
Complementary
Increased awareness among communities to prevent and respond to S/GBV including available services (health, social, justice, economic)
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.
Strengthened capacity of relevant institutions /service providers to provide quality services to S/GBV victims

The Government of Rwanda’s commitment to GBV Prevention and response is reflected in various government efforts to increase community and other stakeholders' understanding of GBV Prevention and response. It is in this framework that UN Women in partnership with different key stakeholders namely Rwanda National Police, Ministry of Gender and Family Promotion, Ministry of Sports, gender monitoring office, and Haguruka and Rwanda Women’s network have contributed to community, youth, media, and local leaders’ engagement toward addressing negative social norms and behavior change. and embrace a positive attitude, timely report or and refer cases of GBV to relevant GBV service providers for proper case management. In addition, with UN Women support, GBV service providers (the multidisciplinary team at IOSCs and investigators, paralegals) have gained the capacity to effectively handle GBV cases as a result GBV victims have benefited from different services including legal aid support, socioeconomic reintegration, psychosocial and protection in the safe shelters. In terms of Leaving No One Behind, mobile GBV clinics are an efficient mean and approach to reach the most vulnerable and marginalized groups including those in remote areas without financial means to afford transport, awareness of their rights and/or available support services as well as women with disabilities. By using 15 mobile clinics, have reached more than 712 rights holders (509 females and 203 males) and helped to increase accountability among GBV service providers at both national and local levels as well as provide timely response to GBV cases. Furthermore, community-based monitoring and reporting tools were developed by UN Women in collaboration with Rwanda NGOs Forum on HIV/AIDS and Health Promotion to strengthen the capacity of institutions to respond effectively to GBV and HIV/AIDS-related issues with respect to leaving no one behind principle. In terms of building on the use of tools targeting female sex workers and adolescent girls and young women victims of GBV, 20 healthcare providers and peer educators were skilled in screening, referrals, and monitoring the quality of services rendered to girls and women at the community level and by health center facilities. 1451 female sex workers and 76 Adolescent Girls and Young Women benefitted from these services.Disclaimer and notes
