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.

More than 1,500 women and girls in targeted communities are able to pursue their rights through courts and legal pathways and have a better understanding of their basic rights as per Iraqi local laws. Specifically, women and girls in the targeted communities understand the legal pathways and means of litigation, while women and girls GBV survivors and/or those at risk of GBV are able to access protection services (including psychosocial and referral support provided in-person and through GBV hotline services). Stakeholders in local communities are also aware of GBV risks and the gendered impact of the COVID-19 crisis. Furthermore, women’s centers in Kirkuk and Anbar are now able to provide a comprehensive set of services including legal aid, case management, counselling, awareness raising, health care and childcare services to the women in need (women and girls GBV survivors and/or at risk of GBV). Staff of the centers possess enhanced knowledge and skills on GBV case management and can deliver higher quality GBV prevention and response services.Disclaimer and notes
