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.

530 elected women and women leaders from 33 local governments are improving their knowledge and skills for inclusive governance. They know how to lead their leadership and integrate gender into local policies and their commune's budget. They have tools to fight against gender-based violence and to improve the governance of their organization through themes such as local finance, gender-sensitive planning and budgeting, organizational dynamics, marketing and sales techniques, and financial education. They are digitally literate and know how to hold an online meeting, exchange with each other and manage their business through digital means. These local authorities belonging to the regions of Louga, Thiès and Dakar now have three regional networks that interact and become more involved in the economic and social life of their community and strengthen each other's capacities and leadership through experience sharing. The community of Gueule Tapée Fass Colobane has an equipped and functional grain production and processing unit. 80 women and young candidates invested in the 2022 legislative elections improve their knowledge and capacities on the electoral cycle and process. They have tools to develop a good political argument and strengthened their leadership. They are sensitized on the issues and challenges of a successful electoral process, informed and documented with the establishment of a web platform of electoral information in Senegal (PIES) that will lead to their awareness. 80 women leaders, journalists and elected women improve their knowledge of the electoral process, have tools and conduct a successful election observation during the 2022 legislative elections.
