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 Note Showing data of : 2022

Effective normative, operational and coordination products, services and processes

The CO has managed to maintain at least 30% of its programmes as joint programmes. UN Women is well positioned to provide technical assistance to the UNCT as evidenced through its leadership of the UNCT Swap Gender Score Card and technical coherance for the Spotlight Initiative. In phase 2, the Resident Coordinator transferred all staff previously working under the RCO to a programme management unit within UN Women. For its own delivery of programmes, the office has used a system of close follow up of actions between programme and operations staff using a weekly acceleration meeting which identifies and resolves bottlenecks timely. For donor reporting, the use of an outlook based reminder to reporting focal points has complemented the reminders sent through DAMS. The CO managed to submit all except one donor report on time. Quality of reporting has been a challenge due to staff and partner capacity gaps in results reporting. This will be an area for improvement in 2023.
