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.
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.
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.
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.

Increased access to essential services
ON Track: To facilitate access to essential services for women and girls who are victims of GBV, Niger has made significant efforts. 600 GBV management mechanisms, two regional centers for the holistic management of GBV victims with SOPs validated with all stakeholders. In 2022, sixty-five (65) women and girls who survived GBV were identified and supported within these two social cohesion spaces. These women receive psychosocial support and funds to implement income-generating activities. With these income-generating activities, they manage to take care of themselves and their children because they are now isolated and do not necessarily have the support of their family.Disclaimer and notes
