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.

SN Outcome 2.3: Government departments have capacity to design and deliver safe and universally accessible public spaces (aligned to SP Output 12)

The aim is to develop and implement Safe Cities/Safe Public Transportation recommendations in Port Moresby and ensure that women's safety concerns, including access to services.
SN Outcome 2.3: Government departments have capacity to design and deliver safe and universally accessible public spaces (aligned to SP Output 12)
Data reported for 2022 results against this indicator was obtained as part of a learning process on social norms and therefore may not accurately reflect the results obtained. Internal reviews of data collected on social norms across relevant indicators, coupled with external reviews, are informing the design of UN Women’s principled approach to social & gender norms change. This will be reflected in changes to the indicators to be introduced in the Mid-Term Review of the Strategic Plan.
Complementary indicators are identified as those in the results framework that are not repeated verbatim in the results framework of another United Nations entity, but are related or provide different but complementary lenses or insights into the same issue, high-level result and/or area of complementary work, such as a Sustainable Development Goal target.
Complementary
UN Women reports on this indicator in a global scope, signified by "(Desk Review)" at the end of the indicator statement (see the Our Global Results page for the global result)
Common indicators are those that appear verbatim the same in at least two entities' results frameworks and are drawn, where possible, directly from other globally agreed frameworks.
Common
Provincial governments and other urban agents are able to design and deliver gender-sensitive and universally accessible public infrastructure and safe spaces, including markets
In addition to results reported by UN Women field offices (shown here), results achieved in countries and territories through the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UNTF) are included in a non-duplicative manner in the global reporting on this indicator (see the Our Global Results page).
SN Outcome 2.3: Government departments have capacity to design and deliver safe and universally accessible public spaces (aligned to SP Output 12)
UN Women noted improved capacity at provincial and district levels in designing gender sensitive public policies on the management of markets. This was achieved through working with 9 provincial/district governments (National Capital District, Lae City, Mt Hagen, Goroka, Hela, Daru, Wewak, Vanimo, Alotau) to ensure safe market places including areas around the market such as bus stops. While progress varies across the different locations, during the consultations for the revision of the Informal Economy Policy, provincial government teams demonstrated awareness on the role of different departments in providing accessible and quality public services. For example, in Morobe, the Lae City Authority was working with provate sector to put cameras in public places as a way of curbing violence against women and girls. The Informal Economy Policy revision shows government commitment in the design and delivery of safe and accessible public spaces.Disclaimer and notes
