i-icon 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. i-icon 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. i-icon 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. i-icon 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.

Strategic Note Outcome Progress Note Showing data of : 2022

National and sub-national institutions and organisations have the commitment, knowledge and capacities to legislate, advocate, plan, implement and monitor policies to prevent and respond to SGBV and HP

There has been some progress on this outcome in 2022 for Afghanistan. Following the siege of power by the de facto authorities mid-August 2021, the gender equality architecture in Afghanistan was dismantled with the abolishment of the Ministry of Women’s Affairs, and the absence of any women in the de facto authority governing structure. Many women leaders—from all walks of life—fled the country, fearing the consequences for dedicating their lives to gender equality. While women’s civil society continues to exist in Afghanistan, their operations have been significantly controlled by the de facto authorities and curtailed. In this operating context, UN Women focus in 2022, was on strategic engagement with the Taliban to realize gender specific outcomes including on women needs and the need for shelters supporting survivors of violence which were closed to be re/opened. In the light of a constrained operating context women civil society organizations are operating, UN Women Afghanistan made some progress on this outcome in 2022. UN Women strategy and approach included support to CSOs to deliver coordinated, comprehensive support to women ang girl survivors of violence, with some awareness raising integrated in programming, which have reached at least 1,673 people (f-860; m-813). This was done primarily through the provision of institutional and programming grants as well as technical and advisory support to deliver evidence-based programmes that prevent and respond to SGBV and harmful practices. Furthermore, UN Women supported partners with the development of an EVAWG training manual, which is being finalized. A company was identified to conduct the media assessment. A prevention action plan is being developed and will inform of opportunities for agency collaboration. Thus far the original strategy and ToC for this outcome is largely still applicable. However, the new ban on women work will larger impact on organizations to work due to lack of female staff to provide essential services or engage on prevention.
