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 Girls, especially from particular groups (with disabilities, rural, sexual and gender minorities) from target countries, who experience violence have access to quality essential services (health, social service, police and justice) to recover from violence
This outcome is about increasing access to quality essential services in the health, social services, police and justice systems for women and girl survivors of violence. Work under this outcome focuses on strengthening systems of reporting, and coordination of quality services and support for women who experience violence. This work intersects between multiple focus areas including health, counselling, justice services and coordination.

Frontline service providers have strengthened capacity to provide quality services to gender-based violence survivors
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).

Women and Girls, especially from particular groups (with disabilities, rural, sexual and gender minorities) from target countries, who experience violence have access to quality essential services (health, social service, police and justice) to recover from violence
Progress was made to ensuring women and girls from the Solomon Islands have increased access to quality essential services. SAFENET 2022 data demonstrated how COVID-19 community transmission has impacted the number of new clients accessing SAFENET services, particularly in Honiara. The number of new clients registered in 2022 is 1,571, in contrast to the 3,165 clients registered in 2021. This approximate 50% decrease is consistent with the fact that most services were not operating in full capacity from January to June 2022. Despite the coordinated and well planned for response, COVID-19 brought many challenges to frontline service providers. Each organization had to adapt rapidly and move services online or implement thorough COVID-19 prevention measures. The Solomon Islands Police Force, for example, utilized their vehicles for COVID-19 response therefore de-prioritizing emergency transportation of survivors. Organizations faced challenges in obtaining vehicle passes to transport VAWG survivors to various services during lockdown as well as a lack of capacity to physically house survivors of violence and meet the case demand. Other essential services were disrupted, including the via court, health care and police systems. Health providers were focused on preventing and treating COVID-19 patients. The crisis centre SeifPles was at capacity and did not have sufficient space to accommodate survivors of violence, leading to a closure of their services. MWYCFA’s Department of Women personnel and resources were diverted to support broader national COVID-19 response amidst the state of emergency. As documented globally, resources and interventions for survivors of VAWG were deprioritized or re-routed to respond to the broader public health emergency. While SAFENET maintained a strong and steadfast commitment to providing services, capacities were stretched and efforts focused on supporting broader national priorities. It is widely accepted that GBV cases increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, which is supported by SeifPles data showing a comparatively high number of women calling the hotline number compared to previous years. SeifPles total genuine hotline calls for 2022 is 7,581. While this figure is the lowest for a calendar year between 2019-2021, the number of women calling the hotline service is 4,144 which is the highest compared to previous years. This might be due to the increased GBV cases during the COVID-19 period and increased awareness of services and rights in communities.Disclaimer and notes
