i-icon 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. i-icon 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. i-icon 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. i-icon 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.

Strategic Note Outcome Progress Note Showing data of : 2022

More women play a greater role in adaptation, mitigation and conservation initiatives and projects promoting sustainable development and climate change resilience. (Frontier Issue).

UN Women had a strong advance in this Outcome in 2022, the project Gender Mainstreaming in the Proamazonia Program, implemented with UNDP, culminated its implementation leaving important advances for women and Indigenous leaders to play a more significant role in initiatives and projects that promote sustainable development and resilience in the face of Climate Change. In addition to important advances for rural women in Ecuador through technical assistance, capacity building and advocacy in policies and regulations that promote and guarantee the participation and leadership of women in decision-making spaces. As part of the Gender Mainstreaming project in the ProAmazonia program, UN Women strengthened leadership of 289 Amazonian women who completed the Amazonian Women Training Program for Climate Change environments at the "Antisuyu Warmikuna" Amazonian Women's Leadership School. In addition, Amazonian community communicators have tools for the were trained in the application of the Guide for Amazonian Communicators with a gender focus, a tool that supports a more inclusive and democratic approach to communication. Within the framework of this project, UN Women managed the participatory monitoring of the implementation through which 81 people were interviewed (69 women and 12 men) who recognized the positive impact of the project on the improvement of women's leadership and participation in decision-making spaces and the generation of knowledge on women's rights. On the other hand, UN Women provided technical assistance to the Association of Women of Rural Parish Councils -AMJUPRE with the participatory updating of its Political Agenda in which 52 rural women leaders from the coast, highlands and Amazon participated in its construction. This Agenda is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the 2030 Agenda and the National Agenda for Gender Equality 2022-2025, and is a working tool and a guiding document for the management and national and territorial citizen advocacy of rural women in Ecuador that will enable dialogue and management with public authorities and international cooperation. In addition, UN Women, together with the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, as part of the implementation of the National Agricultural Strategy for Rural Women, provided technical and logistical assistance for the creation of the Rural Women's Interinstitutional Roundtable in Cañar, a platform for dialogue and decision-making for rural women in that province. In this context, the theory of change continues to be valid for this Outcome. However, in the framework of the new strategic note of UN Women Ecuador 2023 - 2026, among the drivers for change is the strengthening of national and local policies and other mechanisms that allow women's access to productive resources such as land, credit and technology by developing coordination and enforceability processes with civil society networks and strengthening women's capacities with rural emphasis for the enforceability of their economic rights and participation; develop innovative practices for production, sustainable consumption and adaptation to climate change with a gender approach and based on the recovery of ancestral knowledge; promote associative processes of women producers in partnership with the Ministries of Agriculture and Livestock, Ministry of Production, Ministry of Environment and other agencies of the United Nations System such as FAO, WFP. This includes strategies that enable compliance with laws and that UN Women's technical assistance and advocacy leads to the implementation of legal frameworks and the application of the tools and knowledge delivered to the different branches of government. Thanks to the work developed in this area, the UN Women Ecuador Country Office is recognized as a "pioneer" in the women and climate change agenda at the regional level. In 2022, an important lesson learned is that the work done on climate change resilience issues has been an important opportunity for resource mobilization and for the expansion of the office's partnerships in line with the guidelines of the United Nations System and other cooperation actors, the work in this area represents an important opportunity for the next Strategic Note, in addition to the importance of strengthening the office's capacities in this area.
