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.

Women, boys, girls and young people, giving special attention to the native indigenous rural population, Afro-descendants and the population facing human mobility, fully exercise their rights as economic agents for the inclusive development of the country
Significant progress has been made to generating the conditions for women and girls to fully exercise their economic rights, through various strategies. UNW´s support on evidence-based advocacy for financial inclusion of women, the care economy, the importance of private sector as a main actor to reach equality, and the inclusion of the gender perspective in the climate change analysis have resulted in more decision-making institutions in the financial sector, the private sector, and the public sector to be more aware of the importance of including women´s perspective and the barriers that women confront to reach the same opportunities of men with an intersectional analysis taking into considerations the multiple factors that increase those barriers. As a result, these institutions are now proactively designing policies and programmes that beneficiate women including rural and indigenous women under that analysis. Furthermore, supporting the efforts to demolish one of the main pillars of subordination of women such as the unequal distribution of care work has been vital for its recognition in the public agenda as a main structural barrier that prevents women from accessing the full exercise of their rights as they still carry double the time than men in care and domestic activities at the expense of their right to education, decent work and self-care. The shift in perceptions and capacities of government officials on care issues can be attributed to UNW´s continuous support to activist organizations and platforms across the country and to the government in understanding the opportunity for economic growth and social justice, where the care work is recognized, reduced, and redistributed among families, public sector, private sector, and the market. Additionally, communication strategies to deconstruct the gender stereotypes in care labor were developed through messages and data in social media. Finally, a pivotal strategy on climate change from a gender perspective has been developed through the technical assistance to the APMT to accomplish the international commitments to include more women especially indigenous and rural women in decision-making spaces about climate change actions.Disclaimer and notes
