World Bank Income Classification:Low IncomeThe 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:YesSince 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:0.575GII 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:0.723GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

Strategic Note Outcome Progress NoteShowing data of :
2022
To drive more effective and efficient United Nations System coordination on gender equality and women’s empowerment
In 2022, the UNCT demonstrated an increased capacity for a coordinated action on advancing gender, race and ethnicity equality, as well as applying intersectionality of human rights and gender equality. UNCT met or exceeded minimum requirements in 40 per cent of the System-wide Action Plan (SWAP) on Gender and Race Equality scorecard performance indicators, which represented a 33 per cent increase comparing to 2021. The progress was attributed to the consistency and quality of the technical guidance and capacity development support provided under UN Women leadership by the Interagency Thematic Group on Gender, Race and Ethnicity (IATG-GRE). The group’s efforts focused on increased effectiveness and alignment with the newly launched UN Sustainable Development Group (UNSDG) guidelines for Gender Theme Groups, clarification of roles and responsibilities between RC, UNCT, Heads of Agencies and the members of the IATG-GRE, knowledge building on practical aspects of mainstreaming gender and racial equality in the CCA, UNSCDF planning and development and focus on respective accountability frameworks and human rights commitments. The IATG-GRE also prioritized increased efficiency and focus on the implementation of the priority actions of the SWAP Plan, prioritizing key strategic joint UNCT activities, such as those related to the UNSCDF drafting, advocacy with the civil society and other stakeholders, as well as internal capacity development. The efforts resulted in a more focused and feasible plan of actions owned by the group and the UNCT (78 per cent reduction comparing to 2021). Another notable result achieved in 2022 was that the UNSDCF design process integrated gender equality, race, ethnicity, and intersectionality of human rights perspectives. The UN Women leadership, expertise and the focused IATG-GRE action were pivotal to the quality of the Common Country Analysis, with gender, racial and human rights-based analysis consistently integrated across all sectors, using disaggregated data and the international human rights treaties, in comparison with the last CCA. Through the process of UNSDCF results framework drafting, UN Women with the inputs by IATG-GRE, provided methodological guidance to the Pillar groups and the Programme Management Team compilation of the national and sectoral policies and programmes on gender equality and human rights to inform the formulation of the Outcomes and Outputs (the UNSCDF will be finalized in 2023). Also, during the reporting year with the UN Women and OHCHR leadership the UNCT submitted the reports to the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, Universal Periodic Review, OHCHR report on racial justice and equality and to the report of the International Independent Expert Mechanism to Advance Racial Justice and Equality in the context of Law Enforcement. The IATG-GRE therefore played a fundamental role in UNCT performance on the human rights normative agenda.
