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.

SN Outcome 3. Palestinian governance institutions, processes, and mechanisms at all levels are more democratic, rights-based, inclusive, and accountable. (UNSDCF Outcome 3)
The implementation of this Outcome has been severely impacted by the start of the war in Gaza in October 2023. The war in Gaza meant that the existing governance institutions, processes and mechanisms may no longer be relevant or sufficiently responsive to implement this Outcome. Further evaluation is needed after the post-war governance structure takes place. At the same time, UN Women - as the rest of the UN - is not sufficiently able to influence this process.Disclaimer and notes
