World Bank Income Classification:Low IncomeThe 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:YesSince 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:0.575GII 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:0.723GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

Strategic Note Outcome Progress NoteShowing data of :
2022
Women survivors of VAWG have increased access to quality, comprehensive services
There has been some progress on this outcome.
In the light of a constrained operating context women civil society organizations are operating, UN Women Afghanistan strategy and approach has been to provide support to CSOs to deliver coordinated, comprehensive support to women ang girl survivors of violence, with some elements of awareness raising integrated in programming, which have reached at least 1,673 people (f-860; m-813). This was done primarily through funding support, institutional capacity development, as well as work to develop standard operation procedures (SOPs), guidelines, guidance for VAWG services, in line with international standards developed and/or updated with the support of UN Women.
During the reporting year, a total of 21 civil society organizations (CSO) partners have received support to operate across 12 provinces of Afghanistan. Through the operations of Women Protection Centers (WPCs), 193 survivors of violence and 57 accompanied children accessed coordinated, quality, essential services during the year 2022. Through the operation of Family Recourse Centers (FRCs), 9,834 women accessed coordinated, quality, essential services during the year 2022.
Furthermore, during the reporting period, UN Women Afghanistan provided technical assistance to the Essential Services Network (ESN) to find a consensus on governance structure and objectives of the network, which has been mobilized to ensure increased access to comprehensive and coordinated GBV services.
Thus far the original strategy and ToC for this outcome is largely still applicable. However, the renewed risk to safety and security, movement restrictions and ban on NGO workers, will have extensive impacts on the feasibility of women and girl survivors and those at risk of violence to access quality, comprehensive services. This also comes with risks and anticipated regression on progress and operations. Therefore, the ToC and accompanying programme strategy is being reviewed for 2023 to allow for greater flexibility, innovation and focus on prevention.

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.
