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.

Rural women secure access to productive resources and engage in sustainable agriculture in Central Africa Republic
It is now widely accepted that climate change has considerable consequences and creates conflicts between populations in both urban and rural areas. This makes the living conditions of communities, especially those of women and girls, even more difficult in a context where 81% of women are poor in rural areas compared to 69% of men. These conflicts cause security and development problems on an unprecedented scale, particularly for the CAR where the majority of population is female (50.2%) and depends on agriculture (the main source of income for 90% of households in rural areas), fisheries and livestock for the livelihoods of female-headed households. This Outcome aims to respond to the urgent problem of climate change that has long been a cause of conflicts in the Central African Republic with consequences for the resilience of women and girls, since most of them are farmers to see their fields destroyed without a legal response. They do not have control or land rights.

Women and girls have access to agricultural markets, services and products and have strengthened their capacities on organic farming and agroecology

Rural women secure access to productive resources and engage in sustainable agriculture in Central Africa Republic
Improving women's access to land and land security: UN Women also contributed to bridging the gap between land law and practice in the Central African Republic and to improving women's understanding of their land, inheritance and matrimonial rights. UN Women's technical and financial support enabled the government to develop three local charters for gender-sensitive land governance. As a result, 10 groups of 125 rural women each have received land (500 hectares ceded by local authorities, i.e. 50 hectares per group) under the program. 212 national actors are mobilized to promote an environment that protects the rights of women and girls with respect to land. As pilots, 2 communities in CAR have implemented gender-sensitive land governance processes. 30 political and administrative authorities and 69 community leaders (99 people) have capacity building on the need to integrate gender into the management of land-related conflicts and land allocation and are following the project process (management and monitoring of parcels). Women's land rights are critical to women's empowerment, poverty reduction and climate resilience. UN Women has been advocating with customary leaders, administrative authorities as well as husbands to be gender sensitive. An important part of this process is community engagement to improve land governance systems so that more equitable allocations are sustained over time through gender-responsive land practices.Disclaimer and notes
