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.

UN Women reports on this indicator in a global scope, signified by "(Desk Review)" at the end of the indicator statement (see the Our Global Results page for the global result)
Common indicators are those that appear verbatim the same in at least two entities' results frameworks and are drawn, where possible, directly from other globally agreed frameworks.
Common
Complementary indicators are identified as those in the results framework that are not repeated verbatim in the results framework of another United Nations entity, but are related or provide different but complementary lenses or insights into the same issue, high-level result and/or area of complementary work, such as a Sustainable Development Goal target.
Complementary
Increased awareness among communities to prevent and respond to S/GBV including available services (health, social, justice, economic)
Data reported for 2022 results against this indicator was obtained as part of a learning process on social norms and therefore may not accurately reflect the results obtained. Internal reviews of data collected on social norms across relevant indicators, coupled with external reviews, are informing the design of UN Women’s principled approach to social & gender norms change. This will be reflected in changes to the indicators to be introduced in the Mid-Term Review of the Strategic Plan.
Strengthened capacity of relevant institutions /service providers to provide quality services to S/GBV victims
In addition to results reported by UN Women field offices (shown here), results achieved in countries and territories through the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UNTF) are included in a non-duplicative manner in the global reporting on this indicator (see the Our Global Results page).

Communities and other stakeholders are better able to prevent and respond to violence against women and girls and deliver essential services to victims
UN Women made strong progress in 2022 in the prevention and response to violence against women and girls by supporting communities and relevant stakeholder to efficiently deliver essential services to victims. As such, with UN Women support, more than 850,000 individuals from the community and mining sector improved their knowledge and awareness of GBV prevention and response including legal literacy, available GBV services, reporting mechanisms, prevention of harmful practices and promotion of positive masculinities as well as special protection to women and girls with disabilities. This was achieved using different mutually reinforcing mechanisms and approaches that included mobile clinics to increase the proximity of GBV services to the community, community outreach campaigns including the 16 days of activism, mass sports, Radio and TV Programmes as well as the use of social media platforms such as Facebook, Youtube and Twitter. In addition, UN Women in collaboration with Rwanda Bar Association convened '' a consultative policy dialogue on GBV Prevention and Response in Rwanda: From Policy to Practice'' which offered an opportunity to share experiences, good practices but also challenges and recommendations for decision making in relation to GBV prevention and response. The dialogue brought together different key stakeholders working in the area of gender equality, and prevention and response to GBV namely Government institutions such as the Ministry of Gender and Family Promotion, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Education, National Public Prosecution Authority, Rwanda Investigation Bureau, Rwanda Biomedical Centre, Gender Monitoring Office, Rwanda Correctional Service, Rwanda National Police, UN Agencies, the Rwanda Bar Association and its members, CSOs and media practitioners among others. Consequently, the policy dialogue resulted in 21 recommendations that would ensure effective GBV prevention and response in Rwanda, and UN Women has committed to supporting their implementation and follow-up. In addition, 2818 GBV service providers have enhanced their capacity through UN Women's support in collaboration with Rwanda Investigation Bureau and different NGOs/CSOs namely Rwanda Women's Network, and Reseau des femmes which helped GBV victims to get effective support with dignity (victim-centered and human rights-based support). These service providers are composed of local community structures and local government leaders, youth volunteers, and local security organs. Moreover, thanks to the operationalization of 4 GBV shelters and Isange One stop centres safe rooms through UN Women support in collaboration with the Ministry of Gender and Family Promotion, 448 GBV victims (416 Females and 32 Males) benefited from the provision of safe accommodation, protection and comprehensive support including medical-legal and psychosocial support which helped them to restore their hope of life and esteem. Furthermore, community-based monitoring and reporting tools were developed by UN Women in collaboration with Rwanda NGOs Forum on HIV/AIDS and Health Promotion to strengthen the capacity of institutions to respond effectively to GBV and HIV/AIDS-related issues with respect to leaving no one behind principle. In terms of building on the use of tools targeting female sex workers and adolescent girls and young women victims of GBV, 90 peer educators that include 50 Female Sex Workers and 40 Adolescent Girls and Young Women were skilled in screening, referrals, and monitoring the quality of services rendered to girls and women at the community level and by health center facilities.Disclaimer and notes
