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.

Women lead preparedness for and response to natural disasters (FPI GIR Outcome 4)
The focus will be to build the capacity of and support Pacific women so that they can lead preparedness for, and respond to, natural disasters. It will entail the strengthening of the capacity of gender machineries, CSOs and service providers to lead and contribute to humanitarian preparedness and response, and especially by ensuring that it is gender-responsive and inclusive.

Data reported for 2022 results against this indicator was obtained as part of a learning process on social norms and therefore may not accurately reflect the results obtained. Internal reviews of data collected on social norms across relevant indicators, coupled with external reviews, are informing the design of UN Women’s principled approach to social & gender norms change. This will be reflected in changes to the indicators to be introduced in the Mid-Term Review of the Strategic Plan.
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.

Women lead preparedness for and response to natural disasters (FPI GIR Outcome 4)
Progress has been made in strengthening the capacity of organisations to lead and contribute to humanitarian preparedness and response through UN Women’s regional response covering several countries in the Pacific. Women-led organizations from Fiji, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu have strengthened their knowledge and skills and are now more confident to lead in any emergency response after their meaningful participation in trainings, workshops, and meetings covering topics such as Gender in Humanitarian Action (GiHA) and Gender Based Violence in Emergency (GBViE) that were co-facilitated by UN Women and relevant Government ministries across the three countries. In 2022, UN Women expanded its reach to the Northern Pacific to support organizations in humanitarian preparedness and response work. This has resulted in organisations in Palau having increased knowledge and skills on GiHA, GBViE through a dedicated training opportunity provided to the Palau Red Cross and its partners.Disclaimer and notes
