World Bank Income Classification:UPPER-MIDDLE INCOMEThe 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:NOSince 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:0.36200GII 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:0.98000GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

Strategic Note Outcome Progress NoteShowing data of :
2023
In 2026, the State improves public management and increases the protection and guarantee of rights, gender equality and social cohesion, while reducing threats to human security and promoting the eradication of all forms of violence. (UNSDCF Outcome 4)
In 2023, significant achievements were made on several fronts. In the political sphere, during the electoral processes, the parity rule was implemented, resulting in a 19% increase in the presence of women in mayoral offices and 7% in Parliament, totaling 43%. In addition, the cabinet of President-elect Daniel Noboa has a 47% representation of women. UN Women's outstanding contribution was evident in 2023, contributing with the Political Parity Index and presenting key proposals that strengthened women's political participation.
In the area of Women, Peace and Security, progress was made in the construction of the National Action Plan for Resolution 1325, with institutional diagnoses and analysis for Ecuador's Peace and Security Agenda. The leadership of UN Women, in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, set the tone for the development of the plan. In 2023, supported by the UN Women Regional Office, trainings were conducted with an international expert, in which key actors such as the Ministry of the Interior, National Police, Armed Forces, Ministry of Women, Prosecutor's Office and Judicial Council participated.
In the prevention and eradication of violence against women, progress was made in sports and universities. The Ministry of Sports approved and implemented the Protocol for action in cases of gender violence in the Ecuadorian sports system. Club Deportivo Aucas also adopted a code of ethics that incorporates the Protocol for the Prevention of Gender-Based Violence. Likewise, Cuenca State University approved a comprehensive protocol for prevention and action in cases of harassment, discrimination and violence based on gender, gender identity and sexual orientation. UN Women provided technical assistance for the development of all these instruments.
29 cities, including Quito, Ibarra, and Guayas, have endorsed the Quito Declaration in the battle against violence targeting women and girls. The Safe Cities Program achieved alliance consolidation at the local level with the successful Sixth Global Forum and Fourth World Meeting of Mayors. UN Women played a significant role in gathering data on technical violence and sexual harassment in human mobility, enabling the development of effective strategies. Tools were devised in the field of public administration to tackle the issues of sexual harassment and violence, encompassing both physical and online environments. Furthermore, four diagnoses were conducted on instances of sexual harassment encountered by women in the context of human migration. Additionally, a methodological guide was developed, outlining strategies to foster safe cities, with a particular focus on individuals in situations of human mobility.
New scenarios and intervention strategies were developed to address sexual harassment in public spaces, including interventions in public transportation, the Quito subway, local politics, the cyber realm and exploration of new areas such as safe tourism for women, among others.

World Bank Income Classification:UPPER-MIDDLE 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.
