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.

A more gendered humanitarian response is ensured.
UN Women advanced in achieving a more gendered humanitarian response. To achieve this, a project proposal titled "Promoting Localized Gender Accountability to Address Inequality and Gender-Based Violence in Humanitarian Crisis" was developed and approved for implementation in Guatemala, Colombia, and Haiti. This mentioned-above project aims at strengthening UN Women's coordination mandate and its gender mainstreaming actions in humanitarian affairs. In August 2022, the biannual Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) 2022-2023 for Venezuela was published. The document consulted 22 women's organizations in the Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO). Thanks to the UN Women-OCHA-Gencap joint work, the HRP includes the following: A gender chapter. A new gender coordination mechanism. A roadmap for integrating the gender approach in humanitarian action. As for the Interagency Coordination Platform for Refugees and Migrants from Venezuela (R4V), gender focus was mainstreamed in the 2023-2024 Response Plan (RMRP), and a specific gender chapter was elaborated, reflecting that 92% of R4V partners incorporated gender equality measures in their planning, compared to 80% in 2021. Nevertheless, 15% of R4V partners did not conduct gender analysis to tailor their programs. Therefore, UN Women developed an action plan to strengthen gender mainstreaming for the 2023-2024 RMRP. Finally, humanitarian Response Plans were elaboratd in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras, with the support of UN Women, Peace, and Security-and Humanitarian Action team.Disclaimer and notes
