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.

UN Women reports on this indicator in a global scope, signified by "(Desk Review)" at the end of the indicator statement (see the Our Global Results page for the global result)
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.
Complementary
Enhanced capacity of institutions and communities to mitigate and adapt to climate change and disaster risks
In addition to results reported by UN Women field offices (shown here), results achieved in countries and territories through the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UNTF) are included in a non-duplicative manner in the global reporting on this indicator (see the Our Global Results page).

Climate smart agricultural policies are gender responsive and women's land tenure security is increased.
UN Women worked with civil society to advocate for Climate smart agriculture policies and increase gender responsive and women’s land tenure security. With UN Women support, more 4000 women have gained access and control over productive resources including land and are engaged in climate smart agriculture. For instance, 1,400 rural women from Bugiri district gained access and used water resources to produce fish from fish cages, harvested 132,254 Kgs of fish that fetched USD 280,150 during the reporting year. 3,000 rural women farmers in Nwoya district, northern Uganda are engaged in selected agricultural productivity enterprises and have gained access to 3000 acres of farmland to grow fast yielding variety fruits - Mangoes, Guava, Oranges and cereals - sorghum, millet and simsim. In Bugiri district, 290 women worked rotationally in production; 10 per week and earn a wage of USD 2.7 per day under the cage fish farming project. On average, revenue worth USD 73,000 is realized from the sale of fish from every 6 cages harvested.Disclaimer and notes
