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.

By 2025, people have access to better quality and inclusive health and social protection systems

Significant progress in this area was made in 2021 by the national, entity, cantonal and local governments of Bosnia and Herzegovina towards the standardization of response and driving communities' solutions to prevention of violence against women. At the level of entity Federation BiH, the Law on the protection against domestic violence has been partially adopted, and a new Entity Strategy and Action plan was drafted with the support of UN Women. Police response to cases of domestic violence was further standardized in Federation BiH with significant, measurable behavioral impact on the police sector in the Tuzla Canton. Service providers in 10 communities in Republika Srpska and seven cantons in the Federation of BiH provided standardized responses in cases of domestic violence in line with the Istanbul Convention. Four communities in BiH apply locally driven participatory prevention approaches resulting in 20 local prevention initiatives focused on harmful gender stereotypes. Those results attest to continued efforts of the entitiesy but mostly local governments in BiH to standardize responses to domestic violence cases in line with the Istanbul Convention and other international standards, as well as prioritize prevention with the participation of men, women, boys, girls and non-traditional actors such as religious leaders. UN Women has contributed to these achievements by coordinating with the involved actors and ensuring quality of results and synergies across the board. The importance of UN Women’s involvement has been stressed and valued by implementing and strategic partners resulting in the first ever policy advocacy brief on sexual violence developed and issued jointly by UN Women and three gender mechanisms (Agency for Gender Equality of BiH, Gender Center of FBiH and Gender Center RS), and Baseline Study on Criminal, Legal and Social Protection and Status of Survivors of Sexual Violene in BiH The current political and social crisis and surge of women-driven movements against sexual violence, such as “You are not alone” and “I didn’t ask for it” continue to influence the dynamic of UN Women’s work. As an additional step, UN Women has been leading mapping efforts and consultation processes among UN agencies in BiH towards joint programming to tackle sexual violence in BiH.
