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.

Outcome Description
In recent years (as of 2018), the UN Women ROAP migration programme has made three intergovernmental mechanisms more gender-responsive (Colombo Process; Abu Dhabi Dialogue; and ASEAN Forum on Migrant Labour). The SN 2019-2021 will be used as a foundation to generate targeted change including mainstreaming gender into labour and migration policies in ASEAN and targeted AMS; gender-responsive migration governance in targeted countries in South Asia in line with the Global Compact for Migration (GCM) and SDGs.

Gender-responsive policy and legislative frameworks are developed and implemented to promote safe migration, decent work and sustainable development for all women workers, including migrant workers
The ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic has long-lasting effects on many women migrant workers, especially related to increasing financial hardship and inability to provide essentials for their families whose lives depend on their remittances and secure overseas employment due to tighter restrictions on migrants. In 2021 UN Women, through its regional role, continued providing technical guidance to stakeholders, particularly in South and Southeast Asian sub-regions to implement their global commitments on migration. UN Women actively supported the organization of the 14th ASEAN Forum on Migrant Labour (AFML) with efforts to ensure women migrant-specific needs and concerns were highlighted in discussions and integrated into the Forum’s recommendations, which were adopted by ASEAN member states, civil society organizations (CSOs) and employer associations and trade unions. Further, with the support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation under the Governance of Labour Migration in South and Southeast Asia (GOALS) project, UN Women in partnership with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) actively assisted the organization of the meetings of the Colombo Process’s Thematic Area Working Groups (TAWGs) in reviewing their objectives in taking actions to promote safe migration and decent work for all migrant workers, especially women. In particular, UN Women influenced the engagement of more diverse non-state actors, especially CSOs and trade unions in the TAWG meetings. With the increased participation of non-state actors, the dynamic of the TAWG meetings has changed. CSO and trade union actors were given more space to voice the specific concerns of women migrant workers in the labour migration process, especially in the areas concerning skills and qualification recognition; ethical recruitment; reintegration; and remittances to government representatives and other stakeholders, and share lessons learned from their hands-on provision gender-responsive interventions. This increased awareness of making migration governance gender-responsive among the Member States of the TAWGs and enhanced meaningful interactions between them and non-state actors at the regional and national levels. As a member of the Executive Committee of the Regional United Nations Network on Migration for Asia and the Pacific, UN Women continued providing technical inputs and advice in planning and organizing the activities of the Network, including the Regional Review of Global Compact on Migration on 10-12 March 2021 and regional stakeholder consultation during July to September. As a result of UN Women’s advocacy effort, gender-related issues in migration policies and practices were highlighted to the government and other stakeholders. In addition, UN Women emphasized the engagement of non-state stakeholders, especially CSOs, trade unions, local authorities, the private sector, and the media in the consultation process organized by the Network. These have increased awareness and promoted collaborations among stakeholders in line with the GCM’s Whole of Society approach.
