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 2.4 Violence Against Women and girls is prevented and quality essential services are available and accessible to survivors (Aligned to SP Output 11)
During the reporting period, there was increased action against violence against women and girls through renewed commitment among community leaders including church, local and youth leaders, within UN Women project sites, to prevent VAWG as well as increased access to gender based violence services. UN Women in partnership with 32 partners 18 spotlight hub and 14 WPHF funded partners conducted awareness raising sessions on EVAW, respond to survivors of violence. The interventions increased community knowledge and understanding on the continuum of violence, the referral pathway and growing condemnation of violence at national, provincial, district and community level. Community leaders supported the establishment of community referral pathways, which gave survivors more accessible options for freely reporting cases of violence pepetrated against them. Male and youth champions and volunteers acted as watchdogs of violence in their communities, and also supporting survivors with knowlegde on reporting. Survivors of violence reported feeling more confident to report violence against them or their family members. UN Women continued its support to safe houses in National Capital District, Morobe, Enga, ENB, Eastern Highlands, Simbu, Jiwaka provinces wherein a total of 835 GBV survivors accessed safe shelter, food, sanitary items, repatriation and case management services.
