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

UN-Women is positioned as an organisation that effectively leads, manages and coordinates initiatives for mainstreaming gender equality in the UN system interventions in Nigeria

During the reporting period, GTG was Co-chaired by UN Women (represented by the Deputy Country Representative) and UNFPA (represented by the senior National Programme Officer). It had 26 active members representing 18 UN agencies present in the country. They included both international (9) and national staff (17). The GTG held regular meetings once every month and organized other meetings around specific events such as the IWD, 16 Days of Activism against GBV, Rural Women’s Day, International Day of the Girl Child, Human Right Day, and other GEWE advocacy initiatives. Periodically, the UN Women Representative joined the GTG meetings and gave guidance to the team. Moreover, the UN Women served as the bridge between the GTG and the UNCT. She represented the GTG at the level of the UNCT. Additionally, GTG developed a costed annual work plan with a total budget of USD 48,200 which was approved by the UNCT. About 71% (USD 34,200) of the total budget was obtained through contributions from some of the participating UN Agencies (UN Women, UNFPA, UNICEF, UNDP, UN AIDS, UNHCR, WFP, and IOM). In addition, UNDP and UN Women contributed resources amounting to USD 45,000 to organize an event to recognize and award some selected gender equality champions in Nigeria as part of the commomeration of the International Women's Day/Month. Further, UN Women, UNICEF and African Development Bank pooled resources and utilized technical resources of other UN agencies to develop the Country Gender Equality Profile for Nigeria.
