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.

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.

35 host community organizations which participated in the One Wins Lead to Another (OWLA) programme are continuing to offer sports activities with a gender perspective at the end of it. The programme provided spaces for support and belonging and broadened their access to physical and sports activities, while also contributing to their physical and mental health. Through OWLA, grassroots organizations included non-mixed sporting or recreational activities for the first time. And in general, this was the first time that they included gender and empowerment along with sport. OWLA succeeded in establishing activities that take the gender-equality and women’s-empowerment agendas forward in the territories, through these organizations. It helped local organizations to conceive of sporting activities as an opportunity to empower teenage girls and women. The dissemination of messages of gender equality through sports, highlighting the role of women and girls both as leaders of sports as well as broadcasters and journalists, has proven to be key to improve institutions’ involvement in gender and sports, as well as promoting girls’ participation in sports Messaging on sports proved to have impressive impact on social media. For example, one of the most important and popular sports clubs in Argentina, River Plate , signed the Women Empowerment Principles to continue advancing gender mainstreaming and implementing comprehensive gender equality policies.Disclaimer and notes
