World Bank Income Classification:Low 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:YesSince 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:0.575GII 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:0.723GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

2023
By 2027, more people, especially women, youth, and the most marginalized and poor increasingly participate in and benefit from coordinated, inclusive, accessible, participatory, transparent, and gender-responsive governance, access to justice and human rights at federal, provincial, and local levels.
Women and the most marginalized and poor increasingly participate in and benefit from coordinated, inclusive, accessible, participatory, transparent, and gender-responsive governance, access to justice and human rights at federal, provincial, and local levels.
A total of 481 individuals (354 females, 127 males) accessed justice through 11 Judicial Committees, and informal justice mechanisms supported by UN Women in 11 Local Government Units (LGUs). This was further strengthened by the assistance of four legal aid lawyers. Among them, A total of 77 women (diverse ethnic groups) supported by 11 Grassroots Women's Organizations (GWOs) successfully accessed justice services, indicating the organizations' effective engagement in governance. These GWOs also conducted 23 advocacy programs involving 537 people (420 females, 117 males), addressing topics like strengthening GWOs-LGUs coordination for Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment (GEWE) and facilitating access to justice. Furthermore, 25 community awareness events were organized by these GWOs, reaching 665 community members (620 females, 45 males) to combat discriminatory practices. UN Women’s financial and technical support were crucial in these advocacy efforts.
Further, three key policies - Mediation Procedure, Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion Policy, and Judicial Committee Procedural Law - were officially endorsed by two LGUs (Gauriganga Municipality, and Bhajani Municipality), highlighting an enhanced commitment to gender-sensitive justice processes. This was facilitated by Legal Aid and Consultancy Centre under the project on access to justice with funding and technical assistance from UN Women. Additionally, the first amendment to the Nepal Citizenship Act, 2006, came into effect, addressing key citizenship issues and paving the way for previously denied citizens to obtain citizenship through UN Women’s advocacy efforts in close collaboration with key development partners and civils society organizations.
Six LGUs allocated a total of NPR 13,00,000 (USD 9,848) for GWOs to conduct community awareness, showcasing increased collaboration between LGUs and GWOs. This was a result of UN Women’s support to capacity building efforts in gender-responsive justice and human rights advocacy, reflective dialogues, sharing platforms, and video-making skills.
The first-ever CEDAW shadow report was submitted by the Muslim Women’s Group through the National Muslim Women Welfare Society (NMWWS), highlighting the status of Muslim women in Nepal and related key issues faced by this group and demanding accountability from duty bearers to address such issues. To facilitate this process, NMWWS received technical and financial from UN Women.
Nepal's first same-sex marriage was registered at the local government, marking a milestone in marriage equality advocacy. This followed UN Women's recommendation on same-sex marriage equality and represents a significant achievement in civil rights.
The federal Ministry of Women, Children and Senior Citizen finalized and submitted Nepal’s Seventh Period Report to CEDAW in July 2023. This was achieved with continuous technical and financial support from UN Women, indicating strong collaboration and commitment to eliminating discrimination against women.

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.
