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.

Increased engagement of partners in support of UN Women's mandate

With Egypt's Presidency of COP27 on behalf of Africa Group, the UNCT was incredibly busy in 2022. UN Women Egypt was designated as the lead agency on the one Presidency Inititative on Women (the African Women's Climate Adaptive Priorities - AWCAP), and the Egypt CO took the lead in coordinating 11+ agencies (globa, regional and country level entities including UNFCCC) in providing harmonised technical advise to the Government of Egypt in the shaping of the initative. Evolving into the AWCAP, UN Women Egypt liaised with the three regional offices in AFrica to mobilise 7 countries to sign off on the initiative. Launched at COP27 under the auspices of the President of Egypt and in the presence of the UN Women ED, the AWCAP is the first initiative of its kind in a COP, and UN Women is designated as the global lead. UN Women again was appointed to lead the gender and Development Partners (Member States, INGOs, IFIs, MDBs) and oversaw the expansion to include INGOs more actively; Private sector work on WEPs was significantly advanced by establishing new partnerships with the Egyptian Junior Business Association, the Federation of Egyptian Industries, and through a formalised partnership with the Ministry of International Cooperation and the World Economic Forums "Closing the Gender-Gap Accelerator" (a public-private sector partnership) as the lead entity supporting the Government in onboard more private companies; and signed a MoU with the Ministry of Social Solidarity to significantly deepend work on the Care economy. Through Financial Inclusion and Women's SME development, have strengthened partnerships with two of the five national banks (Bank Misr and Agricultural BAnk).UN Women developed its first Joint Programme with UNDP on gender-responsive renewable energy and have jointly advocated with Canada to support (financing pending); Secured Phase III support from Proctor and Gamble on women in their distribution channel; After a year's negotiation, secured a costed extension from the EU, doubling their contirbution from 3 million euro to 6 million euro; technical advisor and coordinator to the UN RC in negotiating a Joint Programme with the EU on GEWE which was approved by Brussels and now being shaped into a full-fledged action document;
