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

The outcome has not been achieved, however, UN Women Kazakhstan made progress on the outcome in 2023. Local government institutions in three regions of Kazakhstan increased their awareness about gender-specific needs of women living with HIV and importance of coordination among the stakeholders, as well as issues of reduced opportunities, stigma and discrimination against women living with HIV, with UN Women support. Informed by the rich discussions and insights gained from these meetings, participants collaborated to formulate actionable plans ensuring that the voices and experiences of women living with HIV remain central in future interventions. Also, Kazakhstan further implemented the National Action Plan of UNSCR 1325, with UN Women contribution. 105 female military personnel, law enforcement agencies, as well as peacekeeping units of the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Defence, and 292 representatives who participated online (45% women and 55% men) strengthened their capacity in women’s role on preventing and resolving conflict situations, ensuring peace and security Officials of the Ministry for Emergency Situations, the senior management of local administrations, and the deputy director of the Academy of Interior highly recognized the knowledge and skills obtained by the personnel and decision-makers in the field of Women, Peace, and Security. Furthermore, in Kazakhstan, the Ministry of Culture and Information and other partners increased their awareness about the high demand for changes in the national legislation for the development of the creative industry with UN Women support. UN Women conducted an analysis of women employed in the arts and culture sphere and developed recommendat ions for addressing barriers and normative gaps. Moreover, 54 representatives of the creative industry in 8 regions of the country increased their capacities through a series of training and seminars aimed at raising awareness of the target audience for coordinated actions. Moreover, national partners in implementation of international commitments under the auspice of the Generation Equality Forum’s Action Coalitions significantly increased their engagement and capacity. UN Women contributed to this result through the guidance and coordination of GEF Hub as well as technical support to various government bodies and civil society on the implementation of the GEF commitments. During the reporting period, 17 representatives (89% women and 11% men) of the National monitoring group comprising 10 government and non-governmental sector organizations strengthened the interdepartmental coordination towards institutionalizing the country's GEF commitments. Moreover, over 80 representatives of government representatives, private sector organizations, CSOs, academia, and youth activists accessed a platform for the Regional GEF Midpoint Event in Almaty that reinforced cooperation in the field of “Technology and Innovation for Gender Equality”. Stakeholders from diverse sectors across Europe and Central Asia took stock of the progress and enhanced existing commitments under the UN Women’s Global Generation Equality initiative. The midpoint event welcomed new 15 commitment-makers from 7 countries to the Generation Equality journey and spotlighted their commitments. UN Women in cooperation with the Government of Kazakhstan, as well as youth organizations and expert communities, will continue the further promotion and localization of the GEF movement in 2024, thus the original strategy and ToC for this outcome is largely still applicable.Disclaimer and notes
