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.

Laws, policies and strategies adopted and implemented in line with international standards and informed by voices of women survivors of violence to prevent and respond to VAWG
UN Women works to influence the adoption of advanced and comprehensive normative frameworks on ending violence against women and girls and partners with Governments and women’s advocates for their implementation through the adoption, strengthening and implementation of national laws, policies and strategies. For example; A Regional Consultation Workshop on the Revision of the DILG-DSWD-DOJ Joint Memorandum Circular (JMC) No. 2010-1 on the Creation of the Local Committees on Anti-Trafficking and Violence Against Women and their Children. Acknowledging the crucial roles of the Local Committees on Anti-Trafficking and VAWC ( LCAT-VAWC ) at the local level in cascading anti-trafficking interventions on the ground, as well as the enactment of revised/new legislation to protect women and children from trafficking in persons (TIP), violence, among others, particularly TA 11862 (Expanded Anti-TIP) and RA 11930 (Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children and Child Sexual Abuse or Exploitation Materials Act), RA 11313 (Safe Spaces Act), it was deemed necessary to update the JMC to make it more relevant and responsive, and adapt to the current needs and changing times. Further Moreover , UN Women has been advocating for the adoption of the Gender-Responsive and Inclusive Pandemic and Disaster Management Act of 2022. The Committees on Women, Children, Family Relations and Gender Equality; Health and Demography; and Finance per Committee Report No. 42, recommending that it be substituted by SBN-1980 (AN ACT TO ENSURE GENDER-RESPONSIVE AND INCLUSIVE PROTOCOLS AND PROGRAMMING TO ADDRESS THE GENDER-DIFFERENTIATED NEEDS OF WOMEN DURING EMERGENCIES INCLUDING PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNS, PANDEMICS, AND NATURAL AND MAN-MADE DISASTERS) with three co-sponsors (Senators Legarda, Go, and Revilla, Jr.)Disclaimer and notes
