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.

Favourable social norms, attitudes and behaviours are promoted at community and individual levels to prevent GBV
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.
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.

Youth mobilised through technology and social media to engage in GBV and HIV
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).
Favourable social norms, attitudes and behaviours are promoted at community and individual levels to prevent GBV
Men in the 4 municipalities of Greater, Hammanskraal, uMgungundlovu, Emalahleni and Ehlanzeni; 2 cities of Nelson Mandela Bay, and Klerksdorp as well as Mamelodi town and Themba township in the 5 provinces of KZN, Eastern Cape, Northwest Mpumalanga, and Gauteng have been influenced to change their attitudes and behaviours around gender-based violence, unequal gender relationships and HIV. Through implementing partners, UN Women contributed to strengthening communities’ response to HIV & Aids and GBV by engaging men and religious leaders as agents of change to address negative social norms and gender stereotypes and leveraging the HeForShe campaign. The partnership with implementing partner SACBC, identified key sites for change (taverns, faith institutions, tertiary education institutions) in which to influence attitudes and behaviours around gender-based violence, unequal gender relationships and HIV. Four main strategies of Research and advocacy, development of toolkits, engaging communities and modelling social clubs were employed to influence change.Disclaimer and notes
