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.

Markets physical infrastructure and operating systems are improved to make them more sustainable, resilient to disaster risks and climate change, safer and more accessible.
This outcome is about increasing women's voice in developing appropriate infrastructure that is safe and accessbile - so this has elements of public safety, plus disaster preparedness and response as well as women's voice and participation. Work under this outcome brings together women leaders of market vendor associations with government planners to ensure that women's voices are included in the planning of infrastructure development

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
Marketplaces have improved resilience to disaster risks, including climate change
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).
Marketplace infrastructure projects are developed in consultations with women and men market vendors, including vendors with disabilities.

Markets physical infrastructure and operating systems are improved to make them more sustainable, resilient to disaster risks and climate change, safer and more accessible.
Operations by market management in the six Vanuatu markets continue to improve, ensuring that markets are kept open, adhering to COVID-19 safety regulations and remain clean, hygienic and safe for selling produce and cooked food. The Markets for Change team conducted market infrastructure surveys and audits to confirm that markets are now more gender-responsive, accessible, and disaster resistant. New work undertaken in 2022 include the newly renovated market house extension at Luganville Market that is providing more space for selling and safety from the elements for market vendors, the majority of whom are women. In addition, the new installation of CCTV cameras and public address (PA) systems at Luganville, Port Vila and Marobe markets is contributing to vendor and customer safety by reducing the risk of theft and violence in markets. UN Women provided financial and technical support towards the strengthening of markets operating systems in Vanuatu.Disclaimer and notes
