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.

In 2022, UN Women Colombia made significant progress on outcome 1.2 (on track). Strong support was provided to peace implementation at the local level , including via a new gender policy of the Territorial Renewal Agency (ART) and the implementation of gender-specific initiatives at the local level, including via calls for proposals for civil society organizations. UN Women contributed to mainstreaming gender in the roadmap of the Development Plans with Territorial Approach (PDET) by formulating technical guidelines, provision of capacity building and implementation of productive projects. In particular, UN Women contributed to the implementation of 3 initiatives labeled “women and gender” in PDET Municipalities: Contribution to the new public policy on gender equality of the ART . As a part of this effort, UN Women raised awareness with 669 persons from PDET municipalities regarding gender approach, elimination of GBV, sexual and reproductive rights; delivered capacity building to 88 civil servants of the ART and local entities in Darien and Riosucio in Chocó to monitor the incorporation of the gender approach in PDET initiatives in partnership with SENA and supported women’s productive initiatives. Ethno-development plans with a gender focus : With UN Women’s support , four (4) Community Councils in PDET municipalities developed a document that compiles input regarding the socio-political context, challenges faced by the community and their proposals on identity, cultural autonomy, territorial development, and social welfare, together with a proposal and recommendations for action. The inputs were developed through participatory spaces with women of the 4 Community Councils. Developed safe spaces for women (adaptation of two houses in Riosucio and Darien in Chocó). Moreover, during the year, UN Women achieved substantive results in the implementation of its strategy to prioritize young women thanks to the implementation of a new Joint Programme funded by the PBF GYPI for the participation and advocacy of young women in civic spaces of Cauca and Nariño. In particular, the programme is supporting 7 organizational processes of diverse young women and 4 innovative initiatives for the care of life, the non-repetition of armed conflict and peacebuilding with a gender approach. Also, the capacities of educative Institutions of Riosucio and Cuvaradó in Chocó were strengthened. To conclude, Thanks to competitive funding mechanisms for civil society led by the Technical Secretariat of UN Women together with the programme team, over 50 CSOs have been implementing projects (and/or were selected) as a part of the Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF), PBF GYPI and Koica call for proposals. In particular, with the support of the Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund , the CO is strengthening the capacities of women victims of internal forced displacement and for women’s participation in peacebuilding. 26 CSOs (including afrocolombian, ex-combatants and transgender women CSOs) are implementing projects that have already benefited 2,254 women, young women and men . These include 10 small grants that are strengthening the organizational capacities of local CSOs. With the support of KOICA , the CO selected 26 initiatives (and related CSOs) to promote rural women’s leadership in agricultural local businesses in the context of peace implementation with a focus on PDET municipalities.Disclaimer and notes
