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.

Data reported for 2022 results against this indicator was obtained as part of a learning process on social norms and therefore may not accurately reflect the results obtained. Internal reviews of data collected on social norms across relevant indicators, coupled with external reviews, are informing the design of UN Women’s principled approach to social & gender norms change. This will be reflected in changes to the indicators to be introduced in the Mid-Term Review of the Strategic Plan.
Complementary indicators are identified as those in the results framework that are not repeated verbatim in the results framework of another United Nations entity, but are related or provide different but complementary lenses or insights into the same issue, high-level result and/or area of complementary work, such as a Sustainable Development Goal target.

Increased femicide rates and violence against women and girls. The National Violence Observatory (ONV), affiliated with the Institute for Democracy, Peace, and Security (IUDPAS) at the Faculty of Social Sciences, published its preliminary data for 2023, revealing a total of 380 femicides, 72 more victims than in 2022, a year that concluded with 308 cases. In June 2023, there was a peak, with a total of 87 violent deaths of women, of which 46 were women deprived of liberty, corresponding to a femicide in a massacre that occurred within the National Female Penitentiary for Social Adaptation. Promoted by the interinstitutional coordination between the Executive and Judicial branches, specialized advisory support has been instrumental in enhancing the capabilities of the Interinstitutional Commission for Monitoring and Investigating Violent Deaths and Femicides. This collaborative effort has culminated in the creation and enactment of the Purple Alert Law, accompanied by dedicated budgetary provisions and a comprehensive regulatory framework. This strategic approach has yielded concrete measures aimed at addressing and proactively preventing instances of violent deaths and femicides.Disclaimer and notes
