World Bank Income Classification:Low IncomeThe 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:YesSince 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:0.575GII 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:0.723GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

2022
Empowered military and war widows have sustainable livelihoods, and access social support services with dignity.
In 2022, women beneficiaries in Mannar - many of whom are women heads of households - have increased the resilience of their livelihoods and their social autonomy, as well as their access to local government officials and networks of mentors and peers through the support of UN Women, which in turn has contributed to strengthening their access to social support services and the prevention of gender-based violence against them. The latter objective continues to be pursued jointly by a multi-pronged approach adopted by UNFPA, UNICEF and UN Women in their ongoing joint programme, collectively strengthening the prevention of and response to violence against women through access to sustainable livelihoods and social support, as well transforming norms within communities through dialogue and education.
Up to 120 women engaging in or operating businesses - related to agriculture, food production, garments, animal husbandry etc. - from the target communities have strengthened their financial and business literacy skills, including in terms of market and digital engagement. Of these, 73 have been selected to receive in-kind assistance to sustain their livelihoods based on a competitive assessment of business proposals. Beneficiaries also have access to mentoring sessions and on-to-one coaching, as a result of which several women have formally registered their enterprises. UN Women has ensured that the work done on this front is relevant to the beneficiaries, including incorporating sessions on microfinance when it became apparent that this was a key issue faced by beneficiaries, and to build external partnerships including a session conducted by the Central Bank.
The impact of this work goes beyond UN Women's primary beneficiaries to a broader societal level. In a context where women are largely excluded from livelihood activities and have limited resource, UN Women's work has strengthened a culture of women empowering women to play a more direct role in generating livelihoods for their households and communities. Anecdotal evidence shows that many of the women-led businesses continue to engage other women in the community in their activities as their businesses expand, and support livelihood generation for households - and women, in particular - in their vicinity. In UN Women's engagement with beneficiaries, the office has also observed greater entrepreneurial spirit and confidence in beneficiaries following UN Women's interventions, through which they have approached national standardization bodies, research institutions, financing institutions, and government administrators for support towards formalizing and expanding their businesses. There is also greater interest in accessing distant markets (including foreign markets), and many beneficiaries have already begun to supply products for export purposes. These results have broadly contributed to a community and local-government level recognition of the capacity and role of women in strengthening local economies and societies, as indicated in UN Women's engagement with local administrators and provincial leadership, who have request continued support from UN Women on similar interventions. The building of peer groups among beneficiaries has also begun to contribute to the development of social collectives and collective coping mechanisms, which UN Women sees as vital to the well-being and empowerment of women in the beneficiary communities.
As the economic crisis continues to hit small and medium enterprises the hardest - including those operated by the beneficiary group, there is need for continued and responsive support, including further support on product and market diversification (including the use of e-markets), and marketing, which UN Women remains committed to providing as possible. Hence, the TOC considered to be valid and timely.
