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’s contributions to achieve Outcome are designed around three intermediate outputs: Output 2.1. Women and girls, including the most vulnerable, are more informed of their rights and availability of social services; and have access to survivor-centred, inclusive and integrated EVAWG/GBV services, gender-responsive social protection measures and mechanisms to keep institutions accountable for service delivery, across the HDP nexus. Output 2.2. Young men and boys, women and girls have greater awareness of the harmful practices and sexist social norms that perpetuate the incidence of VAW. Output 2.3. National authorities have greater capacity to produce and analyse quality disaggregated data to inform legislative, policy and institutional measures to address gaps in Agenda 2030 and BPfA implementation.
