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.

The “Strengthening Qinghai Women Farmers’ Income Security and Resilience in a Changing Climate” project contributes to the shared outcome of the Women’s Economic Empowerment portfolio. The project made tremendous progress towards improving rural women’s climate resilient livelihood opportunities and entrepreneurship in seven pilot counties in Qinghai Province. 69,444 women benefited from training in several areas, including leadership, agricultural practices, e-commerce, and how to access finance – and received production inputs or technological packages. Among those who benefited from the entrepreneurship start-up training, 75 percent succeeded in creating their own businesses. Among the six pilot villages supported by the project, Bahan village and Qiaotou village were selected as provincial models for rural revitalization, and the two First Secretaries of the two villages (one of which is a woman) won the National Advanced Individual in Poverty Alleviation Award. Meanwhile, the gender awareness of local service providers was increased with UN Women’s training and technical support. Among the 458 service providers trained within this project, 85 per cent reported they could apply the knowledge from gender training and support women farmers in their daily work. Through partnership and collaboration with the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research (IGSNRR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), Qinghai Rural Revitalization Bureau, and Qinghai Women’s Federation, synergies were built, project effectiveness and cost efficiency were increased. Based on results and experience generated from the Qinghai project, a new partnership with IFAD and the Hunan provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs was forged, through a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding for a large-scale programme the “Hunan Rural Revitalization Demonstration” programme that aims to support rural women and men in 10 pilot counties in Hunan Province to build up their climate resilience through climate-proofed infrastructure construction, climate-smart agriculture skills development, and extended livelihood opportunities. The programme will directly reach 320,000 persons, over 30 per cent of whom are minority populations and 50 per cent are diverse women. UN Women is the lead technical partner for supporting gender mainstreaming in the programme. In 2021, in addition to the establishment of partnership, as a result of UN Women’s advocacy and technical support, a Gender Action Plan has been developed, to enhance the gender responsiveness of the programme. The Gender Action Plan has been integrated into the Project Management Manual for local government partners for guiding implementation at 10 pilot counties in Hunan from 2022 to 2026.Disclaimer and notes
