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.

UN Women Sudan will continue the efforts to streamline recruitment processes to attract and retain talents, which has been a major challenge of the CO and has negatively impacted the delivery and perception of partners and key stakeholders. In this process the CO will sustain through the establishment of a more secure contractual modality the key positions and use the opportunity offered by the organization to make them benefit from training and other capacity building modalities. The CO will further enhance business efficiency monitoring tools, keep training partners in operations and financial procedures and carrying out regular oversight of implementing partners.
