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.

HSTF: Women farmers in at least 2 CARICOM countries are empowered through secure access to productive resources and engagement in sustainable agriculture
Operationalisation of the planned activities for the UN Trust Fund for Human Security (UNTFHS) Joint Programme entitled, “Building Effective Resilience for Human Security in the Caribbean Countries: The Imperative of Gender Equality and Women Empowerment in a Strengthened Agriculture (and related Agri/Fisheries Small Business) Sector”, in the beneficiary Small Island Developing States (SIDS) of Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, and Saint Lucia have progressed, albeit more slowly than desired. As the region continues to grapple with the overwhelming impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, our resilience is also challenged by the significant demands placed upon individual governments navigating second and third waves of infections, the concomitant strains on the respective economies and attendant health care systems. The ongoing restricted activity across multiple sectors has derailed development, impacted economic growth and any potential subsequent recovery from being immediately experienced at a societal and individual level, particularly for the most vulnerable. This contributed to significant delays in programme implementation across all Participating United Nations Organisations (PUNOs). UN Women as the lead reporting agency under this Joint Programme, has been able to effectively coordinate a suite of mitigation measures to accelerate programme implementation across all PUNOs (UNDP, ILO and FAO), to accomplish initial gains and expend the resources allocated for the first year. Under the UNTFHS project, UN Women provided support to 125 women farmers, fisherfolk and small business entrepreneurs in Antigua & Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica and Saint Lucia through the services of Business Coaches to improve the management and organisational development capacity at the individual or group level. The support continues in 2022 with further capacity building initiatives through training, mentorship, start-up support and documented guidance, to enhance small business within the sector. In addition, UN Women produced seven (7) knowledge products. These represent substantive contributions to inform on policy related to mainstreaming of gender equality and human security in the agriculture sector. In addition, they provide foundational content to inform other activities in 2022, namely, the establishment of Help Desks to increase the access and availability of information on land and business registration, small business support and incentive schemes for persons in the sector.
