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.

Senegalese women entrepreneurs have increased access to economic opportunities through their participation in procurement processes
In 2021-2022 (June), the outcome 2.1. was achieved with good results recorded. The We-Fi project has made a significant contribution to building the capacities of women entrepreneurs in procurement for better access to public contracts in Senegal. More of 500 women targeted, benefited from training sessions on the different procurement themes. In this capacity building component, 530 women entrepreneurs were trained in public procurement. Five (5) training tools were developed around the following themes. These trainings enabled SMFEs to be better equipped to prepare their bidding documents, to manage their contracts and to know the procedure in case of litigation Fourteen (14) workshops were conducted, including eleven (09) online, one (1) bimodal workshop (online and face-to-face), and four (4) in the regions (Thies, Diourbel, Sédhiou and Kolda) by UN Women in conjunction with ARMP. As a result, these 530 SMFEs were trained on procurement procedures, particularly on the following aspects: - Procurement methods.- Preparation of the tender.- Follow-up of the tender.- Management of the public procurement contract.- Management of disputes and litigation in public procurement. Regarding the training of contracting authorities, 78 officials from ministries and public structures were sensitized/trained in gender responsive procurement and 79 public officials were trained/sensitized on gender-sensitive public-private partnerships. UN Women through the We-Fi project has been able to influence the Senegalese to take gender into account in public procurement regulations. In the same vein, a small business act project for youth and women has been put in place to facilitate access to public procurement for this vulnerable group (women and youth).Disclaimer and notes
