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.

2021
Women survivors of VAWG have increased access to quality, comprehensive services
In the lead-up to and following 15 August 2021, access to coordinated, comprehensive, and quality services for survivors of violence against women and girls (VAWG) deteriorated, while the need for services increased. Many service points were suspended and referral pathways were disrupted. UN Women thereby supported all partners to sustain their organizational structures and internal practices, with some partners continuing to provide services to VAWG survivors in Kabul – limited to providing safe accommodation and (some) psycho-social support. As of the end of 2021, two Women Protection Centers (WPCs) and three Family Guidance Centers (FGCs) were (re)operational, while partners continued to seek entry points and approvals for the reopening of further centers across other provinces.
Furthermore, a quality assessment of the services offered at the WPCs/FGCs was conducted to identify areas for improvement and to standardize the quality of services for VAWG survivors, in line with international standards and best practices. The assessment was finalized and a summary was translated to Dari and Pashto. The assessment documents the existing models and identifies key areas for improvement, including the need for centers that offer a range of services for women and their children; building a case management approach that applies a survivor-centered approach and focuses on the empowerment of women; and maintaining quality and accessible comprehensive services across the country, including through the reinstitution of support helplines and provision of vocational training. The findings of the assessment are being used to inform the redesign and reopening of the centers.

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.
