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.

PCO SN Outcome 3.2: Women benefit from decent work, income security and socio-economic development (aligned to SP Output 9)

The outcome was successfully achieved in this reporting period. PCO's approach towards creating an environment where women benefit from devent work, income security and soecioeconomic development rested on enhancing the capacities of women home-based workers and women-owned businesses; increasing women's access to financial products and services, and social protection; engaging the government for implementation of relevant laws, especially the Home-Based Workers' Law; and engaging the private sector Women Empowerment Principles to assist them to formulate and implement gender responsive policies. Supporting women and women-owned businesses affected by the economic impact of COVID19, PCO provided one-time electronic cash grant transfer of PKR 17,000 to 4,500 to WHBWs to supplement their incomes, and act as a tool for economic recovery. PCO also aimed to enhance economic resilience through economic recovery solutions i.e., skills trainings supplemented with tool kits and linking WHBWs to local markets and other private companies to become part of their supply chains. In order to provide information and knowledge to HBWs and community women to avail loans and initiate small scale business, PCO in collaboration with State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) rolled out awareness and handholding sessions in Peshawar and Swabi. SBP representatives shared the different types of small & medium term loans, interest free loan schemes and other financing schemes available for women micro- entrepreneurs. A similar session was also conducted in Quetta with SBP representatives and Habib Bank Limited where Women Entreprenuers were introduced to different banking products available to finance thier micro enterprises. The challenges faced by women working in the private sector and opportunities for them to become more financially empowered and work in a harassment free workplace were identified in the assessment report conducted with 5 WEP signatories, namely K-electric, Jazz, Interloop, Habib Bank Limited and Pepsi Co Pakistan. The assessment was an initial step for WEPs signatories to improve the policy to promote decent work and harassment-free workplace in their companies. In addition, 17 senior Foodpanda Pakistan officials had increased understanding harassment-free and inclusive workplaces for all. The training provided foundation knowledge for the company to create the internal policy to ensure harassment-free and inclusive workplaces. The 25 aspiring women micro-entrepreneurs had increased knowledge on hygiene, food quality and packaging and improved connection with home-chef network as part of the training session conducted in partnership with Foodpanda in Sialkot. To further enhance income security and socio-economic development for women microentrepreneurs, the partnership with Jazz was established to increase digital literacy for 10,000 microentrepreneurs. Following issuance of the ESG Roadmap by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan, PCO has initiated consultations with a range of relevant stakeholders - including the Pakistan Stock Exchange, the Pakistan Institute of Corporate Governance, Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan and multinational and national corporate entities - to advance the adoption of the ESG standards. As a first step, discussions are ongoing for the development of a standardized reporting framework.
