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.

Normative and policy frameworks are promoted and adapted in line with international standards, and institutions have the commitment, knowledge and capacities to legislate, plan, implement and monitor policies to address VAW and femicide
Spotlight Outcome: Normative and policy framework are promoted and adapted in line with international standards, and institutions have the commitment, knowledge and capacities to legislate, plan, implement and monitor policies to address VAWG and femicide. This outcome will cover outreach to parliamentarians, human rights institutions, and women’s rights advocates to strengthen evidence-based knowledge and capacities to assess implementation gaps and draft new and/or adjust existing legislations on femicide and/or gender equality and non-discrimination that respond to the rights of women and of groups facing multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and are in line with international standards and the recommendations of specialized Committees. The outcome will also target women's rights groups and CSO, including those representing youth and groups facing intersecting forms of discrimination, to more effectively influence and advance progress on GEWE and EVAWG.

Data reported for 2022 results against this indicator was obtained as part of a learning process on social norms and therefore may not accurately reflect the results obtained. Internal reviews of data collected on social norms across relevant indicators, coupled with external reviews, are informing the design of UN Women’s principled approach to social & gender norms change. This will be reflected in changes to the indicators to be introduced in the Mid-Term Review of the Strategic Plan.

In 2022, the province of Jujuy achieved the goal of establishing the Advisory Council mandated by the emergency Law on Gender based violence adopted in 2020. Hence, the province -once rated as the one with the highest femicide rate of the country- now has a multistakeholder institutional space for coordination, monitoring and evaluation of public policies on gender equality and gender- based violence, including femicide. Small women’s organizations were strengthened thorough an innovative process supported by UN Women, securing a space for NGOs without legal registration but proven record of work and experience addressing gender-based violence. In 2022 the Ministries of Security of Salta and Jujuy strengthened their capacities for training police officers and now can better address gender-based violence cases with UN Women support. These tools will also allow the Ministries of Security to mainstream gender in the education process of all new staff, thus ensuring sustainability of UN Women’s support. In addition, as a result of the advocacy work developed with the assistance of UN Women, 10 local governments of the province of Salta signed commitments to establish special services for women with disabilities experiencing gender-based violence, thus advancing in the intersectional approach to gender-based violence prevention, assistance and eradication. Finally, over 3 million people were reached through an online and radio campaign that widely expanded the voices, messages and priorities of civil society leaders with the support of UN Women. In a country renowned for its vibrant and progressive women’s movement; strategic partnerships with civil society organizations are key.Disclaimer and notes
