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.
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.
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.
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.

In 2021, the Asia-Pacific Beijing+25 regional synthesis report was officially launched jointly by UN Women and UNESCAP on International Women’s Day. A brief interactive video summarising the report content and recommendations was screened at the event for all participants from Governments, Donors, UN Agencies, CSOs, and the private sector. The total number of participants was 71 in-person participants and 119 online participants via Zoom and 2,400 unique viewers via Facebook Live from across the region. The report highlight video can be found here. As part of the Generation Equality Regional Journey for Asia and the Pacific, the ROAP convened six Generation Equality Asia-Pacific Regional Multi-stakeholder dialogues in the areas of Feminist Action for Climate Justice on Earth Day (22 April) (300 participants); Technology and Innovation for Gender Equality on 19 May (attendees at the highest peak: 158); Economic Justice and Rights on 25 May (attendees at the highest peak: 165); Gender Based Violence on 16 June (175 participants) and; Feminist Movements and Leadership on 17 June (attendees at the highest peak: 268) and 3-day Youth Activism Accelerator Sessions (attendees 1,715 over 3 days). These dialogues brought together stakeholders from across the region representing civil society including women's rights and youth-led movements, the private sector, governments, academia, philanthropy, International Financial Institutions, and the UN, to discuss areas of action under each of the Action Coalition Areas and to invite stakeholders to consider committing with these areas. In addition, as part of the #16daysofactivism and #IamGenerationEquality campaigns, the ROAP produced seven stories of youth activists who are at the frontline of fighting gender-based violence in their respective countries. The stories feature contributors from Cambodia, Malaysia, and Indonesia and include key actions the interviewees have taken to combat GBV, as well as actions that the reader can take to make a difference. With the UN Coordination approaches, governments and a wide range of 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. APA_D_6.2: Enabling and well-coordinated policy environment is in place to ensure gender-responsive localisation and effective monitoring of the SDGs in the Asia-Pacific region As a result of the Women Count programme implementation and completion of its first phase, the enabling environment to produce and use gender statistics has been enhanced in many countries. For instance, Vietnam selected a set of priority gender indicators with UN Women's support, which they now use to guide data collection reports on gender issues, and inform national policies. Similarly, countries across the Pacific, through the adoption of the Pacific Roadmap, now have a sub-regional strategy for the production and use of gender data across the region. This has prompted countries such as Tonga to create national coordination groups on gender statistics, countries such as Palau to collect more data on gender issues, and the whole region has created a Pacific Gender Statistics Coordination group, a community of practice where priorities are discussed and solutions (in the form of finances or technical support) are identified to address current gaps.Disclaimer and notes
