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.

Strategic Note Outcome Progress NoteShowing data of :2021

By 2025, all people without discrimination benefit from a sustainable, inclusive and resilient economy in Georgia (UNSDCF Outcome 3)

Significant progress has been made towards achieving the outcome in terms of mobilization of private sector for the cause of gender equality; in 2021, the number of private companies who have joined UN Women and UN Global Compact’s Women’s Empowerment Principles: Equality Means Business (WEPs) reached 102 in Georgia. This vibrant community of partners has been offered diverse capacity development opportunities throughout the year to stimulate in-depth understanding of what are the Women’s Empowerment Principles and how can they, as the employers, advance women’s rights and foster the business environment at the same time. Dedicated discussions addressed also the roles of employers in tackling workplace sexual harassment as well as domestic violence, including to tips and techniques on how to identify an employee who may be facing such a problem and what type of support to provide. The companies that are signatories to the WEPs are setting interesting examples in combatting domestic violence in Georgia. The Adjara Group successfully employs women who have overcome the problem of domestic violence and facilitates their rehabilitation according to the signed memorandum of understanding with the Agency for State Care and Assistance for the Victims of Human Trafficking, while MBC, in addition to awareness-raising trainings within the organization, buys the products it needs from women victims of domestic violence and provides them with legal, psychological and economic assistance, thereby empowering them. As for the TV channel Mtavari Arkhi, another WEPs signatory, it regularly informs the public about the services that victims of domestic violence need and takes care of raising awareness and delivering information. The WEPs signatory companies have rejoined the 16-day campaign against gender-based violence, continuing the initiative that was launched in November 2020. In 2021 the companies have focused on the elimination of sexual harassment in the workplace. The state agency “Enterprise Georgia” has approved its internal Gender Equality Strategy and a three-year action plan developed with UN Women technical support and as an outcome of Participatory Gender Audit conducted in the entity by UN Women in 2020. The Strategy upholds the Agency’s commitment to develop, implement and monitor the agency’s policy on the basis of gender mainstreaming. The three-year strategy and action plan place a special focus on the prevention and elimination of discrimination and sexual harassment. As a part of these commitments, 22 staff members from “Enterprise Georgia” attended the training organized by UN Women on non-discriminatory policies and procedures at the workplace. Based on the progress made to date, the original strategy and theory of change for this outcome is largely still applicable. If, as expected, this strategy is successful, then the work at the level of policies and legislation, institutions and grassroots’ aimed at economic empowerment of women would within a few years start having a real impact on the lives of women and girls in Georgia by making entrepreneurship and employment policies as well as employers more gender sensitive and women better aware of their economic rights and opportunities.
