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.

Women are perceived as equally legitimate and effective political leaders as men

UN Women in partnerships with CARE Ethiopia, EMA and Amhara BOWCSA has been significantly contributing to key social norms change for women to be perceived as legitimate and effective political leaders as men through multiple and targeted efforts including community dialogues, gender forums with diverse stakeholder and gender machineries, political parties, NEBE, CSOs, academia, media, youth and women association members, as well as and media capacity building programs. A perception and awareness of 1,917 participants (959 female and 958 male) community members in Amhara region on the importance of women in leadership and participation in decision was transformed through the implementation of 64 community, including using women as community dialogue leaders. In addition, a gender forum to promote women political participation in Amhara Region which brought together 190 (130 female and 60 male) participants from gender machineries, political parties, National Election Board of Ethiopia (NEBE), CSOs, academia and media has been a crucial platform for a commitment of the ruling party to bring more women candidates into the 6th General Election in Ethiopia in Amhara region. As a result of the media training on gender equality, elections and gender responsive reporting supported by UN Women and advocacy with Ethiopia Media Authority (EMA), three community radio media were able to secure a permission to report on the 6th General Election, after EMA communicated to NEBE on the lack of access for community radios to report on elections. Thereby, two media programs were developed and transmitted via radio promoting gender quality and the role of women in leadership and participation in decision making, as well as the added value of the training for the media. UN Women amplified women’s leadership role in COVID-19 response efforts through two TV programmes profiling Sister Nigat Woldehawaryat, a Director of Nurses Department in COVID-19 treatment centre, highlighting women’s effort as frontline responders to the pandemic, and Ms. Mekdes Mintesnot, Ethio-Telecom's Chief Information Security Officer, showing the role Ethio- Telecom played in creating awareness on the precautionary measures of the COVID-19 prevention and mobilizing the public through its wider outreach program under women’s leadership. UN Women in collaboration with the local CSO - Network of Women’s Association (NEWA) - have been leading on forming a platform to coordinate CSOs’ interventions to promote women political participation and gender equality in Ethiopia. As a result of UN Women efforts in facilitating the South-to-South experience sharing from CSO representatives from Tanzania, Zambia, Uganda and Siera Leone and mobilizing 18 local CSOs, the CSO coordination platform, led by NEWA and other local CSOs (Timran and Setaweet), has been established and the action plan endorsed. The CSO platform has been crucial in avoiding duplication of efforts and ensuring coherent coordination in promoting women political participation during the 6th General Election in Ethiopia. During the Strategic Note implementation, UN Women has entered the field on peace and security and has contributed to women being perceived as equally legitimate and effective leaders as men in the area of peace and security. UN Women supported the enhancement of the role of youth and women in peacebuilding and conflict resolution through collaboration with other UN agencies and CSOs, promoting women’s participation in peace and security related processes and women’s protection in conflicts. For example, women’s peace forums were established in Oromia and Somali regions to enhance and increase women’s participation in peace and conflict related processes. UN Women has played a key role in creating interest and a conducive atmosphere for the implementation of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. UN Women’s capacity building, advocacy and consultative meetings on WPS among key stakeholders resulted in MoWSA and Ministry of Peace (MoP) committing to support the development of National Action Plan on Women Peace and Security in Ethiopia, which is inclusive if civil society and adherent to international norms and standards.
