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.

For this reporting period, the country office has continued to work on actions that promote a culture of peace to advance towards the achievement of peaceful and safe environments for women. Through the implementation of the Spotlight Initiative, the capacities of the justice sector have been strengthened.

Technical support has been provided to the Foreign Ministry in the implementation and follow-up of the II National Action Plan, approved in May 2022, and the strengthening of the inter-institutional coordination space created for this purpose (https://rree.gob.sv/el-salvador-presenta-estrategia-nacional-de-la-resolucion-1325-compromiso-internacional-sobre-mujeres-paz-y-seguridad/). The country office has continued to promote the National Coalition on Women and Climate Change, launched in 2021 with the participation of the Embassies of Costa Rica and Canada, the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources, ISDEMU, and the Executive Secretariat of the Council of Ministers of Health of Central America (COMISCA), as an area of great importance considering the country's vulnerability to the impacts of climate change.Disclaimer and notes
