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.

By 2025, women and girls have greater access to socio-economic and technological opportunities for their empowerment and to services for the prevention and management of all forms of violence, particularly harmful practices (UNSDCF Outome 6)
In 2022, 578 women and girls had increased access to socio-economic and technological opportunities for their empowerment and to services to prevent and manage all forms of violence with the support of UN Women. In detail, 236 adolescent girls and young people (aged 15 to 24), victims of sexual exploitation, had access to HIV, STI and GBV prevention and care services in the health districts of Yopougon-Est, Yamoussoukro and Bongouanou, thanks to a project supported by UN Women and implemented by an NGO (NGO Blety). Forty (40) of these beneficiaries received funding for the establishment of income-generating activities and training in business management and simplified accounting. Fifty (50) women living in the northern border areas of Burkina Faso benefited from information on the support available to women in the mechanisms to combat violent extremism during a joint mission organized by UN Women and UNHCR. One hundred (100) women farmers were connected to markets for goods and services and products, and have easier access to strategic information for better management of their activities.Disclaimer and notes
