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 1.3 (on track). The System of Truth, Justice, Reparation and Guarantees of Non-repetition (SIVJRNR) and the Special Instance for Women were strengthened, and 7,021 women leaders and human rights defenders have enhanced their capacities for prevention and protection thanks to the Profedensoras Programme . In 2022, UN Women continued its work with the institutions of the Integral System for Truth, Justice, Reparation and Non-Repetition (SIVJRNR). In 2022, UN Women continued its work with the institutions of the Integral System for Truth, Justice, Reparation and Non-Repetition (SIVJRNR) for the mainstreaming of the gender approach within the internal and external procedures of its institutions. Regarding the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), UN Women supported the enhancement of the technical capacities of the JEP to investigate and judge cases of GBV and sexual violence in 3 macro-cases [1] and provided technical inputs for the JEP to open macro-case No. 11 on Sexual Violence, Reproductive Violence and other crimes based on Gender, Sex, and Sexual Identity or Orientation [2] . UN Women –in alliance with the Embassy of Sweden—worked with the Truth Commission (CEV) on the finalization of the documentary “When the Waters Flow as One” –which showcases the contribution of Colombian women to the construction of peace in the last 20 years. The documentary was submitted to national and international film festivals. UN Women also strengthened the Gender Technical Roundtable –part of the legacy of the CEV that finished its mandate in 2022—as the instance for CSOs to engage in dialogue with the SIVJRNR. Finally, UN Women also supported the Search Unit for Missing Persons (UBPD) in the development of its gender workplace policy by providing technical and financial assistance. UN Women continued to support the Special Instance of Women , a mechanism that was created through the Peace Agreement for the monitoring of the implementation of gender measures. UN Women also contributed via advocacy and interinstitutional coordination –including the Presidential Council for Women and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs—to start the formulation process of the National Action Plan of Resolution 1325 of the UN Security Council . On the other hand, UN Women implemented capacity-building initiatives geared towards the mainstreaming of the gender approach into the prevention, protection and self-protection strategies regarding women leaders and human rights defenders (WLRD), and the safeguarding of their safe spaces. UN Women also continued to work with the Ombudsman’s Office to strengthen the capacities of its officers regarding, firstly, the initiative of prevention and self-protection strategies of WLRD, and secondly, innovative strategies to improve the participation of young women in civic spaces. In particular, 11 CSOs (3 of indigenous and 2 of afro women) are finalizing projects as a part of ProDefensoras for the prevention and protection of women social leaders and human rights defenders that have benefited 7,021 women leaders and defenders (including 667 indigenous women and 2591 afrocolombian women) in 71 municipalities. Also, as a part of the programme, 13 self-protection and self-care strategies and 4 emergency and rapid response funds were implemented and supported institutional response capacity via 4 Ombudsman’s Office Reports that issued recommendations to public entities for the prevention and protection of women’s human rights defenders. With the support of the PBF-GYPI , the CO selected 8 CSOs and platforms (1 of them of deaf women) of young women that promote their advocacy and innovative practices for peacebuilding in local civic spaces. As a part of the UNDIS , the CO has benefited women with disabilities (WwD). For instance, with the support of the CERF , UN Women delivered resilience kits to 134 women with disabilities affected by humanitarian crises. The CO has also incorporated the disability approach in its reincorporation JP financed by the UN MPTF for Sustaining Peace.
