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.

Palestinian national actors are better able to prevent violence against women and girls and deliver quality essential services to victims and survivors
Palestinian national actors are better able to prevent violence against women and girls and deliver quality essential services to victims and survivors. This outcome was mostly achieved as planned. Palestinian national actors were better able to prevent violence against women and girls and deliver quality essential services to victims and survivors. These results are evidenced by the increase in the VAW cases managed by the Palestinian Family and Juvenile Protection Department and by the One Stop Centre. Moreover, there is increase in the number of transferred cases by the Public Prosecutors to the Palestinian courts. UN Women continued to lobby and advocate with the relevant ministries and actors for the adaptation of the Family Protection Bill; and the amendment of the Penal Code and the Personal status law. In addition, UN Women developed/ amended/ and customized Five protocols, SoPs and manuals used by the justice, security and social sectors in managing cases of women victims and survivors of violence.Disclaimer and notes
