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

UN Women and Paris21 drafted a Strategic Framework for the Development of Gender Statistics based on the assessment report. The framework serves as a tool for CAPMAS to mainstream gender in the NSDS. This has not yet been validated by CAPMAS/NSO. The findings and recommendations of the National Review of Gender Statistics will be integrated in the NSDS to improve planning, production and use of gender statistics in Egypt. Egypt has expressed interest in conducting a Voluntary National Reviews at the 2021 High-level Political Forum on sustainable development so during 2020 it commenced the process of developing its national SDG report. GEWE will be included given that it is high on the political agenda of the government. As part of the development of the national review of gender statistics, orientation on gender statistics was held for statistics divisions in 5 ministries.Disclaimer and notes
