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.

Commitments on women, peace and humanitarian action are implemented in coordination between the UN System and national stakeholders, with more women and gender equality advocates influencing the processes
Protracted conflict in parts of Sudan has disproportionately affected women, trapping them in negative vulnerability, violence, disempowerment, disrupted livelihoods and reduced resilience. UNAMID has started its phased withdrawal guided by UNSCR 2429, which clearly recommends the gender analysis and inclusion of technical gender expertise throughout all stages of planning, mandate development, implementation, review and mission drawdown, as well as the development of a structured framework through which conflict related sexual violence will be comprehensively addressed. UN Women is leveraging on the transfer of the gender portfolio of UNAMID to support gender integration in the peace building process and the humanitarian development nexus. The interventions are done through the UNCT- UNAMID transition team and are mainly based on supporting activities in the 3 priority areas: (1) Resilience and livelihoods, durable solutions, (2) Human rights promotion and capacity-building, (3) .

Commitments on women, peace and humanitarian action are implemented in coordination between the UN System and national stakeholders, with more women and gender equality advocates influencing the processes
After the eruption of the war and to ensure that commitments on women, peace and humanitarian action are implemented, UNW redesigned its programs and geared its programmatic support towards strengthening the women-led organizations and the women-led peace movements to influence the course and direction of the peace in Sudan and return the country to the democratic path. Through its humanitarian programing, UNW applied the triple nexus to ensure that the protection and prevention pillars of NAP 1325 are implemented while also contributing to the participation pillar through encouraging the leadership and active participation in humanitarian response. The humanitarian agenda, the situation rooms established within the local humanitarian initiatives and the advocacy messages developed by these local initiatives to ensure the protection from and prevention of VAW in the current humanitarian context, were strategic tools that contributed to ensuring that commitments on women, peace and humanitarian action are implemented. In the domain of WPS, UN Women worked to strengthen the women-led peace movements in Sudan, an area which intersects with WPPL thematic area. The high level of organization of WLOs transforming into the peace and humanitarian platforms and antiwar groups inside and outside Sudan, their engagement with each other, along with the dire need to consolidate common agenda, an agreed set of demands and priorities and the need to develop key advocacy messages signified a shift from capacity building to active advocacy. This meant that UNW had to make a conscious and strategic shift from capacity building to active participation in order to try to influence the manner in which women-led organizations would work together for peace. The enhanced coordination amongst the women led peace and humanitarian platforms and collective advocacy constituted a key step toward holding the duty bearers accountable to ending the war and opening a path for humanitarian aid and services, provide for the protection of women from CRSV and return to the democratic pathway, which are all are key elements of the national WPS agenda. In addition, the establishment of local peace committees and different initiatives led by gender equality advocates to engender the informal peace processes contributed to the implementation of women, peace and security commitments and will continue to do so. The strategic focus on supporting the triple nexus and empowering gender equality advocates - particularly women - to take on leadership roles in influencing the direction of the country towards peace, is a key strategy that contributes to ensuring that the program pillar of women, peace and security are priorities and needs to be attended to by the duty bearers. The realization of this strategic focus is evident as these advocates, now equipped with enhanced capacities, actively contribute not only to the implementation of UNSCR 1325 national action plans on WPS but also for a new plan that is grounded in the triple nexus.Disclaimer and notes
