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

To bring it to fruition, two projects have been implemented to support women in agriculture and entrepreneurship: Climate smart Agriculture through "Women's access to land and productive resources for a resilient agriculture phase of climate change" is being implemented in northern Senegal. to benefit women farmers. This intervention, aims to empower 16,000 women farmers and reduce their vulnerability to climate change The 3R Programme responds to the need for more programmatic interventions on recognizing, reducing and redistributing (3Rs) women’s unpaid care and domestic work as well as overall time poverty The Climate smart project mobilized women and young girls in the rice sector to increase their socio-economic empowerment by reducing the obstacles that prevent them from realizing their full potential: gender relations, strengthening of leadership, decision-making, and resources control. Thanks to a training program, advisory support and awareness campaigns on these key themes, women farmers are strengthened to defend and exercise their rights.
