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 NoteShowing data of :2021

National authorities, private sector and CSOs are engaged in and actively support gender equality and women’s economic empowerment and protection

During the reporting period, a total of 6076 vulnerable women and girls in Lebanon – refugees and Lebanese nationals, enhanced their skills, increased their income and reported feeling safer and more protected. This was achieved through the provision of livelihood opportunities, combined with protection services – with an emphasis on investing in opportunities within Lebanon’s productive sectors. In addition, the draft Government of Lebanon Social Protection Strategy, a first of its type, is more inclusive and gender responsive as a result of targeted technical assistance from UN Women. The strategy notably includes links between SP and welfare services, including gender-based violence, an emphasis on childcare services, capacity building and gender responsive budgeting. Of those supported through UN Women’s programme, 63% increased their household income and 24% decreased household debt despite the harsh external environment. 95% of women enhanced their motivation to participate in paid work and their confidence and skillsets to find work opportunities. 12% of participants found employment after participating in the training and cash-for-work programme, despite the contraction of the economy. UN Women also assisted in mobilizing a social enterprise, that was equipped and trained to produce menstrual pads in sustainable way and employ women in production. Through this, 100,000 pads (10,000 packs) of menstrual pads were produced and then sold or distributed, alleviating the difficulties that women in Lebanon face to purchase affordable and good-quality period products. Moreover, evidence throughout the program demonstrate that interventions contributed to women’s increased knowledge on GBV, greater sense of safety in public spaces and the workplace and improved mental health outcomes. Within the private sector, five additional companies were engaged in actively supporting gender equality through signing and implementing elements of the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), with support from UN Women, adding up to a total of 22 WEPs signatories in Lebanon. The five additional WEPs signatories committed to push forward gender equality objectives within their companies, with two companies beginning to develop action plans to revise their internal policies in order to make them more gender sensitive.
