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.

Electoral Frameworks and arrangements promote gender balance in elections.
The outcome focuses on strengthened legislative framework that enables women’s participation and leadership. This will include review of relevant laws (Electoral Bod, political Parties and Representation) as well as capacity strengthening of leaders of these key institutions, (ORPP, NEC, ZEC, LGA, e.t.c) at different levels in regard to their mandate and role in promoting women’s leadership and political participation including through legislation.

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.

Electoral Frameworks and arrangements promote gender balance in elections.
Result: Towards strengthening the capacity of the National Electoral Commission (NEC) of Tanzania to ensure promotion of gender balance in elections processes, a draft of the Gender Strategy for NEC was developed already in 2021, and further finalized in 2022. The NEC Gender Strategy recognizes the need to enhance women’s participation in political processes not only as voters but also as candidates as well as their strong presence in the management of elections as election administrators. It also looks at institutional arrangements of the NEC including staffing, as well as structures and tools that need to be improved to promote effective leadership and participation of women in the entire Commission. The strategy serves as a key pathway to strengthen women’s participation and leadership in electoral processes. During the previous years, UN Women has supported both Government of Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar to develop their own gender strategies. The gender strategy in the National Assembly in mainland has recently led to com mitments to establish a gender desk in the National Assembly. The Political Parties (Amendment) Act (PPA) 2019 incorporates principles of gender equality, youth, and social inclusion in leadership and political participation, including prevention of Violence Against Women in Politics (VAWP) in political processes. Despite of the significant progress, currently neither the PPA nor any law in Tanzania obligates political parties to increase the number of women leaders or, for example, set up a quota for women leaders inside the parties. Since political candidates are required to go through the political party system, this creates major obstacles for women Nonetheless, the ability of members of the Tanzania Women's Parliamentary Group (TWPG) - which is the women's caucus in the Parliament of Tanzania - to make submissions to the Law Reform Commission on the need for reforms of the Elections Act and Political Parti es Ac t, and having the institution consider them demonstrates that women leaders have adequate skills to promote gender balance in electoral processes. Evidence: National Electoral Commission (NEC) Gender Strategy. UN Women contribution : UN Women has a Gender Specialist based in Dodoma (the national capital of Tanzania) who is supporting National Electoral Commission (NEC), Tanzania Women's Parliamentary Group (TWPG) and other key UN Women partners to advance gender balance in elections.Disclaimer and notes
