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

By 2024, Liberia has sustained, diversified and inclusive economic growth driven by investments in agriculture, food security and job creation and is resilient to climate change and natural disasters.

To promote gender equality and women empowerment, UN Women Liberia enhanced knowledge of rural women smallholder farmers on land rights and equal access to and ownership of land for investing in climate smart agriculture and agribusiness development. Furthermore, UN Women adapted innovative means of providing extension and advisory services to rural women using social media, specifically WhatsApp. Social media is being used by UN Women to deploy knowledge products and lessons to over 800 women and youth farmers through various farming cooperatives. The women have expressed satisfaction with improvements on agricultural productivity that is boosting the women farmers’ incomes and increasing their resilience and adaptation to climate change. As a result, farmers are better aware of the crop varieties they should grow in times of severe wet or dry climatic conditions, to enable them to generate better yields at field level. Other women economic empowerment initiatives such as Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLAs) and adult literacy, numeracy, and business skills programmes are helping to unlock the potential of rural women and increasing access to sustainable financial services. Rural women also benefitted from the sustainable and renewable energy project through UN Women’s partnership with ’We Care Solar’ on the use of its solar suitcases that are providing electricity to over 700 women learners attending and participating in UN Women Liberia’s funded literacy and numeracy skills classes in Lofa, Bong, and Nimba Counties. Through its partnership with Orange Liberia, UN Women Liberia enhanced the promotion of decent work and created employment opportunities for women as mobile money agents. These women are transacting mobile money businesses in both United States and Liberian dollars.
