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 Note Showing data of : 2022

Conducive policy environment and enhanced institutional capacities of governance institutions to mainstream gender

The current TA project was implemented in 4 states – AP, HP, MP and Manipur. The achievements under the project are four-folds: 1. Strengthened Institutional mechanism, through forming Gender Budget Cells, engendering of the Budget Call Circular and publication of the Gender Budget Statements as part of the state budget, development of GRB State Action Plan for a time period of 3-5 years across all 4 states, monitoring mechanisms developed through formation of the Inter-Departmental Monitoring Committee. 2. Development of Knowledge product including – sectoral studies, policy briefs, training modules, best practices of GRB, FAQ for GRB 3. Capacity building initiatives – conduct of GRB trainings, Lateral Learning programmes, Cross-Zonal Learning programmes, International Training of Trainers and National Training of Trainers 4. One of the key innovations under this project has been the organic development of the e-gov tool that is a one-stop resource tool that will facilitate all government officials associated with the GB work in their respective departments/ministries to keep a track of their progress around GB work in their respective departments/ministries. The Country Office, supported the Ministry of Women and Child Development to undertake gender budget analysis of 15 Ministries/ Departments, develop Ministry-specific guidance notes, and conduct orientation programmes for 28 Ministries/ Departments on gender budgeting. All these achievements have led to the outcome of the central government of India inviting UNW India Office to scale up the work on gender budgeting to 6 subnational regions and 30 central ministries. The partnership with BMGF will be addressing part of that work in the 2023-2024 financial year. Recognizing the effectiveness of the E-Gov tool and the Gender Budgeting Index developed under the TA project, the union government has advised UNW to scale this tool to the upcoming states and central ministries as well.
