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.

Women and Girls, especially from particular groups (with disabilities, rural, sexual and gender minorities) from target countries, who experience violence have access to quality essential services (health, social service, police and justice) to recover from violence.
This outcome is about increasing access to quality essential services in the health, social services, police and justice systems for women and girl survivors of violence. Work under this outcome focuses on strengthening systems of reporting, and coordination of quality services and support for women who experience violence. This work intersects between multiple focus areas including health, counseling, justice services, and coordination.

Progress has been made in ensuring that women and girls who experience violence in Vanuatu have access to quality essential services to recover from violence. The Department of Women's Affairs has strengthened its capacity to coordinate services through the Gender and Protection Cluster (GPC) to respond to women and children affected by violence during disasters through the use of online 4W, Sitrep, mapping and contact lists. The GPC includes three Subclusters addressing child protection, disability inclusion and GBV and UN Women coordination support has resulted in the identification of needs and delivery of services including dignity kits by UNFPA; crisis counselling and referral by VWC; dissemination of food, sanitary items and referral information by VCC; and assistance by Disability Desk with devices and support for people with disabilities within quarantine facilities. Vanuatu Women's Centre has increased its reach in rural and remote areas through the establishment of one CAVAW (Committee Against Violence Against Women) and re-establishment of two CAVAWs that ceased functioning due to evacuation of the whole of Ambae island as a result of volcanic eruptions. These CAVAWS are able to increase awareness raising of GBV and assist in referral to services providers. Vanuatu Women's Centre has been providing essential crisis counselling, legal, safehouse and protection services to women and children in Penama Province and nationally through the client support fund that ensures women and children survivors across Vanuatu can receive emergency support for shelter, protection, legal support and other needs. From January to June, 31 women and girls in Penama Province were assisted through the client support fund, 24 women and two girls were assisted by VWC through emergency safehouse services, 63 women received legal assistance for family protection orders and 61 other women and girls receive other forms of legal support. The skills and capacity of Penama Counselling Centre counselors to provide survivor centred crisis counselling have been strengthened through the provision of supervision, case review and training VWC was able to provide services across the humanitarian development spectrum through the availability of its toll free hotline, recording an increase of clients using this hotline to access counselling and referral during lockdown. VCC, for the first time, has distributed COVID kits to 132 single mothers and widows. The kits contained information on what constitutes GBV and referral pathways, food, hygiene and sanitary items. This support was acknowledged by the recipients, chiefs and communities.Disclaimer and notes
