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.

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.
Complementary indicators are identified as those in the results framework that are not repeated verbatim in the results framework of another United Nations entity, but are related or provide different but complementary lenses or insights into the same issue, high-level result and/or area of complementary work, such as a Sustainable Development Goal target.

Thanks to the continued work of government institutions, the media and civil society organizations, Burundian women and girls continue to benefit from a safe social environment that allows them to have increased access to quality assistance services and more opportunities for socio-economic recovery. Indeed, the combined action of the media and committed men and women who lead community mobilization initiatives for the promotion of positive values, contributes to improving the level of commitment of community members to challenge social norms that are vectors of violence and discrimination against women and girls. For instance, 13 radio stations with a national cover range, broadcasted 68 times programs focused on promoting positive masculinity as an approach to eradicate violence against women and girls and to enhance women economic empowerment. Une large partie de la population a ainsi été touché par ces émissions qui servent de modèle de référence pour lutter contre les VAWG. Additionally, Women and girls’ members of solidarity groups, women leaders from political parties and public administration including elected women across UN Women's intervention areas are linking their socio-economic recovery initiatives to initiatives leading to EVAWG, to promoting women's leadership, to more participation in community-based conflict resolution and gender equality initiatives. More than 1,549 women members of women's groups in Muyinga and Kirundo province are leading socio-economic recovery initiatives but also actively participating in local community conflict management mechanisms. In promoting Women’s rights, UN Women successfully contributed with technical and financial support to Burundi Government and CSOs to support the implementation of 7 campaigns and other social mobilization events aiming to promote and to enforce the women’s rights. These campaigns and social mobilization are related to IWD 2020, CWS66, open day on 1325 Resolution and 16 days campaigns for ending VAWG. In collaboration with women CSO and Lawyer Bare Association, the process of revising laws that still contain discriminatory provisions reached a higher level where a series of provision from women CSO where integrated in in the draft of the bill to revise the family codeDisclaimer and notes
