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.

Given that 2022 was considered a bridge stage for a second phase of the Women's Local Economy and Territory Program (MELYT), priority was given to continuing relationships with strategic allies in order to: improve access and use of tools, business, financial services and digital; support the construction of an environment of well-being, social protection, decent work and strengthened care systems to take advantage of economic opportunities and organizations and networks of women strengthened and organizationally expanded to promote the economic empowerment of women. During this year the new government took over and began to open spaces to approach issues long demanded by Women civil society organizations. With SEMUJER (Secretary for Women's Affairs): the Gender Policy of the Agri-Food Sector is being addressed with the Secretary of Agriculture and Livestock (SAG ) under the joint decision of both Ministers, which is expected to end in 2023. The other joint line is working with the private sector to develop their investments with a gender focus, promoting the WEPs principles achieving the subscription of 4 companies. In addition to the foregoing UN Women with SEMUJER and Secretary of Social Development (SEDESOL ) and Ciudad Mujer joined efforts to put together a Central American Colloquium: "The care society in rural areas: horizon for a sustainable recovery with gender equality", from October 26 to 28, 2022. This event was organized in preparation for the XV Regional Women Conference (CRM) ECLAC/ UN Women. This event was led by UN Women with WeEffect our strategic ally on Women's Economic Empowerment with a joint venture of 5 International Development Organizations more. Around the Colloquium, together with WeEffect and Diakonia Sweden, a parallel event was organized at the XV CRM; Care and rurality in Central American contexts. Within this process, SEMUJER Minister Doris Garcia, with prior preparation supported by UN Women, was able to position herself very well before the conference and became part of the conference secretariat. With Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI)it was possible to take the first steps to launch the new trinational Inclusive Financial Ecosystem (EFI) regional program. This initiative has opened a great interest that makes explicit the coherence with the need in the subject. We have been able to begin to respond to strategic stakeholders, such as Inter-American Investment Corporation of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB Invest) as well as national Financial Institutions, private and public banks as well as saving and loan cooperatives, associations and the National Cooperative Women Council. A new agreement has already been signed with the new government to support the economic empowerment of women in conjunction with the Business Development Centers for Micro, Small and Medium-Sized Companies (CDEMIPYMEs) of Lempa and Occidente with technical assistance for gender-sensitive business development. The proposal is to accompany the strengthening of the organizational structures of the social economy sector (Associative Companies, Savings and Credit Banks and Cooperatives) of women and/or ensuring the inclusive participation of women entrepreneurs or businesswomen in a clear link with chains of value. In addition, discussions have been held with the Presidential Delegate of Ciudad Mujer to accompany the Economic Autonomy Module through an agreement with National Entrepreneurship and Small Business Service (SENPRENDE).Disclaimer and notes
