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.

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.

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.

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.

The Federal Government of Somalia has declared war on al-Shabaab as part of the Government's stabilisation agenda. While the government has made some advances in liberating some parts of Somalia from al-Shabaab's control, the terrorist group remains a threat to peace and security in Somalia, and continues to undermine the rights of women and girls, consistently taking a cultural standpoint that contradicts the gender equality and women's empowerment agenda. Under the Joint Programme on Women, Peace and Protection, UN Women Somalia is working with the Ministry of Women and Human Rights Development at the Federal Government Level and at the Federal Member States to protect and promote the rights of women and girls in Somalia in the context of drought and conflict. The project will contribute to the strengthening of the capacity of security and rule of law institutions to prevent and respond to violations against women and girls, including conflict related sexual violence, the perpetrators who often include members of al-Shabaab.Disclaimer and notes
