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.

Governments and civil society are able to assess and inform progress in the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, the SDGs as well as other global and regional normative frameworks

In 2022, UN Women supported Governments and civil society in the Asia-Pacific region to assess and stay informed on progress in the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, the SDGs as well as other global and regional normative frameworks through several processes, namely: (i) the CSW66 Regional Consultation which brought together state and non-state actors including national gender machineries, ministries in charge of environment, national disaster management organizations, civil society organizations representing diverse constituencies, UN entities, international financial institutions, intergovernmental bodies, philanthropic institutions and academia. Convened by UN Women and ESCAP, in collaboration with UNDP, UNEP, UNDRR, UNICEF and UNFPA, these consultations allowed these diverse actors to convene and agree on ways to accelerate progress on key frameworks including the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (in particular, the 2019 Asia-Pacific Declaration on Advancing Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment: Beijing+25 Review), the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These discussions were useful in that they were relevant to informing stakeholder perspectives during the COP 27. Further, UN Women also contributed to the sharing of good practices in line with the regional consultation recommendations, through two side events during the global CSW66 session. Link to resources: https://asiapacific.unwomen.org/en/stories/in-focus/2022/02/csw66 (ii) Secondly, UN Women ensured that all SDG goal profiles developed for the Ninth Asia-Pacific Sustainable Development Forum (March 2022) i.e. for SDGs 4, 14, 15 and 17. UN Women also collaborated with ESCAP and UNFPA in leading on the development of the SDG 5 profile -as well as co-facilitating a roundtable on SDG 5 which allowed ESCAP member states, civil society, private sector and UN partners to discuss key impediments to progress on SDG 5 and strategies for accelerating progress in this area. The recommendations of the same were presented to ESCAP member states of 31 March and submitted at the 2022 HLPF. (iii) In the humanitarian sphere, UN Women were able to support the ASEAN Committee on Disaster Management and its Secretariat to strengthen tools and good practice case studies for gender-responsive operationalization of the ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response Work Programme 2021-2025. (iv) Under the regional programme funded by the Government of Japan “Gender-Responsive COVID-19 Prevention and Response in Mekong Countries”, UN Women’s regional humanitarian and disaster risk reduction team provided support at regional and national levels, planning activities on inclusive and gender-responsive measures to prevent and respond to COVID-19, including support to COVID-19 vaccine access in Lao PDR, regional research and dialogues on women’s inclusion in socio-economic recovery, and development of communications campaign. Further, under the same programme, implemented in India and funded by ROK, a study on women’s leadership and meaningful participation in COVID-19 recovery and response in India were able to frame the planning of a similar regional study and dialogues to be replicated. Under the programme “Gender-Responsive COVID-19 Recovery in India” funded by MOGEF in the Government of the Republic of Korea, UN Women provided support to the India Country Office on implementing gender-responsive measures to prevent and respond to COVID-19 and support pandemic recovery efforts. In addition, the UN Women – through partnership with Humanitarian Advisory Group – rolled out two studies in India and Nepal on women’s inclusion and leadership in COVID-19 socioeconomic recovery efforts in Asia-Pacific, which aimed to: (1) Understand the current state of women’s leadership and participation in COVID-19 response and recovery in South Asia; (2) Identify recommendations to better support women’s leadership and participation in COVID-19 response and recovery. UN Women also partnered with the Korean Women’s Development Institute (KWDI) to jointly hold a regional dialogue with South Asian women civil society leaders on facilitating gender-response recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuring women’s leadership in crisis decision-making and response planning in Seoul, South Korea. The regional dialogue identified best practices and lessons learned from CSOs’ experience during the pandemic and provided recommendations for enhancing women’s leadership and participation in planning and decision-making for COVID-19 recovery. (v) UN Women worked with UNAIDS and other Cosponsors to ensure that needs of Women living with HIV and LGBTQI communities are reflected in UBRAF's priorities in the Joint Plans at Regional and country level.
