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.

Women secure access to productive resources and engage in sustainable resources creation activities in rural, peri-urban, conflict, post-conflict and humanitarian settings.
Since it is the dreadful socio-economic situation that led to the social uprising in December 2018, women have expressed the need of extensive support to fight the growing poverty that affect them the most. Therefore, UN Women in the approach of LNOB has targeted one of the most marginalized regions of Sudan where women suffer a high level of discrimination to support their involvement in the fishery sector where they have been completely excluded and support their economic empowerment and the promotion of their human rights. UN Women interventions with the support of the Italian cooperation will focus on working with women groups to acquire the resources, equipment and needed skills to intervene in the fish value chain, to not only improve their financial situation but also protect their rights. Will participate to this outcome women groups, the Italian cooperation and other potential donors, the Ministries of Agriculture and of Gender.

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.
Complementary
Improved Women's access to and control of productive resources, markets and financial profits in rural, peri-urban and humanitarian settings.

Women secure access to productive resources and engage in sustainable resources creation activities in rural, peri-urban, conflict, post-conflict and humanitarian settings.
Through UN Women's support, 180 women and young women’s farmers (representing four women’s agricultural associations from the communities of Kassala and Red Sea) have secured access to agricultural land. UN Women has supported the rent of agricultural lands for 5 years to support women’s engagement in planting of crops, vegetables, and fruits. UN Women is also supporting the process of constructing 4 women’s agricultural associations, purchasing equipment to support the value chain transformation of the goods women produce, and construction of water collection centers to mitigate the risk of rain scarcity and avail a sustainable source for irrigating women’s-collective farms. The above progress UN Women has made, combined with the enhanced capacities of women’s farmers in the value chain and entrepreneurship, will do much to maintain women’s farmers' engagement in sustainable resource creation. A woman farmer from Gedarif state in Eastern Sudan mentioned that before the distribution of seeds, she was worried about how to secure the money to avail the seeds due to the conflict, the humanitarian crisis the country p is going through, the general inflation of prices, and the imminent rainy season. “When I received the seeds, I felt that my family was secure. Most women farmers engage in subsistence farming to secure basic family needs from the farm and exchange any surplus to meet other basic needs”. After the harvest, the women farmers mentioned that the farm yields had increased, and productivity had shown a noticeable increase compared to the previous years.Disclaimer and notes
