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.

Strategic Note Outcome Progress Note Showing data of : 2022

Jordanian government and civil society assess progress on implementation of normative and policy frameworks on gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.

Significant progress has been made to the achievement of this outcome. The Government of Jordan (GoJ) and official institutions have an appropriate and enabling environment to work on gender mainstreaming within their planning processes. This has been evident through the governments’ adoption of a gender responsive planning approach in designing executive plans for the triple modernization visions (Political, Economic and Public Sector Development) with the support of UN Women through providing platforms for consultations between different stakeholders and providing technical advice and support to the development process. Despite this significant progress, there is still a long way to go to guarantee commitment for the implementation of these policies. UN Women shall continue supporting the government in developing implementation and M&E plans. Additional support is required for the parliament to monitor and observe the government's commitments. Furthermore, with the support of JCO, the National Team established by the Inter-Ministerial Committee for Women’s Empowerment (IMC-W) and led by the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MOPIC) and the Jordanian National Commission for Women (JNCW), the National Strategy for Women 2020 – 2025 (NSW) is integrated under the Government Indicative Executive Plan 2021-2024 (GIEP) which is the main governmental programme that includes budgeted plans of around 124 ministries and official institutions. 40 official institutions were directly engaged in the integration exercise (28 ministries and 12 official institutions).
