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.

UN Women significantly increased the capacity of the national mediation, machinery i.e. National Directorate for Community Conflict Prevention (DNPCC) of Ministry of Interior in the country. Through UN Women’s technical support, the first National Mediation Network of Timor-Leste (“Rede Nasionál Mediasaun”) was officially established on 31 July 2023. Contributing to the Participation and Prevention Pillars under the National Action Plan on the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security (NAP 1325), the Network promotes participation and representation of women in all aspects of mediation and negotiation, and other peacebuilding processes of the country. Additionally, the DNPCC mediators resolved XX cases in 2023 as compared to 146 cases in 2022 (out of 319 cases registered in 12 municipalities and 1 special administrative region – 45.8% of cases resolved) in multiple areas, including land & property disputes, martial arts issues, social conflict, and disputes over natural resources. The number of women national mediators in DNPCC increased from 32% of 31 mediators in 2019 to 47% of 40 mediators in 2023, reaching towards gender parity. With the technical and advisory support of UN Women, the Ministry of Interior and the NAP 1325 Secretariat have demonstrated increased capacity in evaluating the results and reviewing the lessons learnt of the first National Action Plan on the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security (NAP 1325) through consultations and validation workshops in 2021-2022, which later informed the drafting of second NAP. The second NAP 1325 has been approved by the council of ministers.Disclaimer and notes
