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.

The State approves national legislation and implements public policies that promote intercultural and parity democracy and the full enjoyment of women’s rights, including indigenous women’s rights.

During 2021 Subnational Elections, UN Women’s work contributed to the development and implementation of 28 legislative frameworks. First, a Regulation of Candidatures Registration for 2021 Sub-national Elections was developed, which helped political organizations to register their lists under two modalities that ensured the maintenance of parity in legislative bodies at the subnational level. Moreover, the technical assistance provided through the TSE rigorously monitored the lists of candidates, so that political organizations complied with parity and alternation principles. The impact of this actions was reflected in the results of the 2021 elections where for the 2021 - 2026 period, 121 (47%) departmental assemblywomen and 1,028 (51%) councilwomen were elected. However, there is still a scarce presence of women in executive positions. The departments with the highest presence of women in these positions are Beni (26%) and Pando (20%), although their percentages continue to be low. In this regard, it should be noted that no woman was elected as governor, the highest executive position at the departmental level. Secondly, because of the technical assistance provided by UN Women to the Ombudsman's Office, 27 municipalities modified their internal rules and regulationsadding up to 48 municipalities that have mechanisms and regulations against harassment and political violence against women, and 70 municipalities committed to make changes in their regulations by the end of the 2021 administration. Additionally, five executive authorities and five departmental assemblies issued pronouncements in relation to the ombudsman's determinations. Ratings:Significant Progress.
