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.

More women own, launch and/or better manage small and medium and large enterprises

This outcome was achieved as planned. 208 Palestinian women business owners (160 young women, 63 in the informal sector, 17 women with disabilities, 62 women from rural areas) benefited from the Ministry of National Economy’s (MoNE) services (including awareness, registration, in-kind grants and procurement procedures) to formalize their businesses. These results (208) were more than targeted (150). These results are evidenced by the additional excel spreadsheet attached here. UN Women supported the establishment and piloting of the Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE) Fund at the MoNE under the Joint Programme “Mitigating the impacts of COVID-19 on women’s economic participation in the State of Palestine.” A multi-stakeholder advisory board was formed and launched for the WEE Fund by the MoNE to support the sustainability of this initiative (which consisted of about 17 national member organizations, members states, local and International NGOs, private sector and UN agencies). UN Women is upscaling and expanding the WEE Fund (which is considered a best practice as a national mechanism to enhance women’s access to sustainable financial resources and services) through 2023.
