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.

Gender statistics are available, accessible, and analyzed to inform policy making, advocacy and accountability for delivering gender equality and women’s empowerment
The focus is on technical support to the National Statistics Office (CAPMAS) and NCW in collaboration with Paris21 to develop a National Strategy for the Development of Gender Statistics (NSDGS), based on the Assessment Framework and its implementation guidelines that was developed by PARIS21 with UN Women’s Women Count programme. Furthermore, ECO will extend technical support to CAPMAS to integrate gender statistics in the different design phases of the National Strategy on the Development of Statistics (NSDS). Furthermore, data user-producer dialogues will be convened to improve the production and dissemination of gender data particularly administrative data that is currently underutilized. This output will be implemented in partnership with CAPMAS, NCW, Economic Research Forum and civil society organizations.

UN Women reports on this indicator in a global scope, signified by "(Desk Review)" at the end of the indicator statement (see the Our Global Results page for the global result)
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.

Capacity of national statistical system, government institutions, civil society, academia and relevant stakeholders is strengthened to improve data collection for production, dissemination and use of gender statistics, including SDG gender related indicators

Final clearance was received by the Government for the UN Women/Paris 21/Government of Egypt-supported review of gender statistics. Based on 54 gender-specific indicators, the review examines the extent to which gender data are available for both SDG and NSEEW indicators. It shows that 51% of the gender-specific SDG indicators are available through existing data sources, with household surveys and censuses being the main data sources. Furthermore, only two-thirds of the available indicators are disaggregated by sex and other characteristics. This review also advises the national statistical body (CAPMAS) on how to ensure their National Statistical Strategy systemtises the generation of gender statistics. This review is also informing OECD's new Gender and Statistics project with the Government of Egypt, which is supporting the government's improved with OECD's statistical requirements, and UN Women is working closely with the OECD team in Paris on this.Disclaimer and notes
