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.

Results: Key strategies for enhancing women’s Economic Rights in the country were adopted and implemented . This year, Tanzania developed a Generation Equality Programme (TGEP) 2021/22-2025/26 which was approved by the Cabinet. The development of the TGEP guides public, private, and social actors on initiatives under the Generation Equality Forum (GEF) action area of Economic Justice and Rights as per the commitment made by H.E President Samia Suluhu Hassan. The TGEP identifies four areas of implementation, including increased enabling policy and legal environment to expand decent work in the formal and informal economy; investments in gender-responsive public and private quality care services ; expansion of women’s access to and control over productive resources; and strengthening gender-responsive macro-economic plans, budget reforms, and stimulus packages. These focus areas will contribute to achieving gender transformative change and accelerate progress on several SDGs, including Goals 1 and 8, and SDG Targets 5.1, 5.4, 5.A, 5.C, 6.1, 16.b, 16.3, 16.6. In 2022, UN Women Tanzania deepened partnerships with the private sector by convening joint events with financial institutions to advocate for gender-responsive financial services and responsive workplaces through various platforms such as the Ring the Bell and the launch of the feminist plan for sustainability and social justice. The engagements catalyzed transformative approaches by the private sector such as the launch of the first Gender Bond in Sub-Saharan Africa by NMB Bank which seeks to bridge the financing gap for women-owned and led SMEs and the launch of Malkia account product CRDB bank. Both NMB Bank and CRDB Bank have reaffirmed their commitments to deepen collaboration with UN Women through gender responsive financial services. More than 600 women directly working with UN Women have benefited from financial literacy from NMB and CRDB which has seen them planning better and expand their businesses. Significant progress has been made to advance women’s access to national and international markets through the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCTA) workshop held in Tanzania. The workshop had a high-level political commitment officiated by the President of Tanzania, providing yet another opportunity for UN Women to galvanize more support and resources for women SMEs.
