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.

Common indicators are those that appear verbatim the same in at least two entities' results frameworks and are drawn, where possible, directly from other globally agreed frameworks.

In addition to results reported by UN Women field offices (shown here), results achieved in countries and territories through the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UNTF) are included in a non-duplicative manner in the global reporting on this indicator (see the Our Global Results page).

By 2026, more people, by age group, especially the most vulnerable, including refugees and IDPs, use quality basic social services equitably and sustainably to realize their full human potential and enhance their social and economic well-being (OUTCOME 2.1/UNSCDF).
People forced to flee or leave their homes like the refugees and IDPs particularly in situations of armed conflict like the case of Cameroon are generally subject to heightened vulnerability in several areas. Due to their vulnerability situation, they remain at high risk of physical attack, sexual assault, and abduction, and frequently are deprived of adequate shelter, food and health services. In the course of the year 2022, More vulnerable women and young women including refugees and IDPs’ social wellbeing were enhanced which enabled them to reach their full potentials. The provision of quality basic social services by UN WOMEN through the execution of Second Chance Education Project gave an opportunity for close to 2000 women and girls to realize their full potentials. This project leveraged partnerships, holistic approaches, and innovative technology that breaked current trends, and provided a comprehensive solution for marginalized young women who have missed out on education. In this light, women and girls including their families, local communities and societies the benefited from access to educational services, which are tailored not only to their needs as learners, but also to their future as earners through the pathways of going back to formal education, gaining employment or entrepreneur services.Disclaimer and notes
