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.

SP_D_0.3.1

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.

Extent of bias in gender equality attitudes and/or gender social norms among individuals (CO)

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.

Strategic Note Outcome Progress Note Showing data of : 2022

People in Iraq participate in and benefit from effective mechanisms – at national, sub-national and community levels – that prevent, mitigate and manage conflict, and contribute to social cohesion and peaceful coexistence, with particular focus on women and youth leadership in decision-making, peace-building and reconciliation processes.

The Department for Women’s Empowerment in the General Secretariat of the Iraqi Council of Ministers (DWE) developed and is now able to start implementing a second National Strategy for Iraqi Women (2023-2030). The strategy aims to foster women’s political, economic and social empowerment and protection, thus contributing to increase social cohesion and women's role in decision-making and leadership. The strategy represents a fundamental step towards the effective mainstreaming and institutionalization of women’s empowerment and leadership across the work of Iraqi legislative and executive institutions. UN Women provided technical and financial support to national Iraqi women’s machineries enhancing the DWE ability to develop the Second National Strategy for Iraqi Women (2023-2030) in a consultative process.
