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:YesSince 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:0.575GII 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:0.723GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

2022
A diverse cohort of women leaders is formed to lead in governance at local and national level
UN Women Rwanda made strong progress in supporting a diverse cohort of women leaders to lead in governance at both local and national levels. In 2022, UN Women continued to support National Gender Machinery Institutions (Ministry of Gender and Family Promotion, Gender Monitoring Office, National Women Council, and Rwanda Women Parliamentary Forum) and other Implementing partners to ensure that women’s capacity to compete for leadership positions and leading in decision-making processes is strengthened. As a result, 1061 women and girls (including 30 women with disabilities and 30 women and girls living with HIV) increased their leadership potential and abilities as well as their confidence to perform their respective responsibilities through the provision of transformational leadership trainings, peer learning, networking dialogues and mentorship programmes. At local level, 20 out of 120 (17%) young women graduates from the first cohort of a 6 months’ professional internship initiative which started in 2021 and initiated by the Ministry of Gender and Family Promotion (MIGEPROF) and UN Women in collaboration with the Rwanda Association of Local Government Authorities (RALGA) were elected in leadership positions in local government structures after being equipped with skills and knowledge in transformational leadership. The second edition of professional internship initiative of 120 young women graduates was launched in August 2022. The initiative will continue to sustain internship placements for young women graduates in local government entities to inspire them to take up leadership roles. Furthermore, at both national and local levels, networking and mentorship opportunities further helped to strengthen connections and mutual support among women and girl leaders at different levels and provided a good opportunity for inspirational experience sharing.
Noteworthy is a Women Leaders Network Summit that was convened by the Ministry of Gender and Family promotion in collaboration UN Women that brought together 500 diverse cohort of women leaders that included, ministers, parliamentarians, senators, senior officers from Rwanda National Police, CEOs from financial institutions, provincial governors and newly elected women and leaders representatives from National Women Council elected from village to national level among others. The summit aimed to strengthen women and girls’ connection, mutual support among women leaders and also reinforce their influence at different levels. As such, the summit enhanced women’s vertical and horizontal peer learning, mentoring the next generation of women leaders and sustaining achieved results. The women and girls shared challenges and ideas on how to fully exploit their potential, nurture young women and girls’ leadership through programmes aimed at empowering them and, allow those already in leadership positions give back to the community through mentorship, entrepreneurship etc. The diverse group of women leaders also included women in sports, women with disabilities, youth councils and youth volunteers which allowed for diverse viewpoints and discussions on leadership and gave them strategic direction on how to play their role and be more influential in their different areas of work.
