i-icon 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. i-icon 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. i-icon 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. i-icon 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.
i-icon Population:209,497,025 Source of population data: United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division (2022). World Population Prospects: The 2022 Revision Male:19,976,265 (9.5%) Female:189,520,760 (90.5%)

Strategic Note Outcome Progress Note Showing data of : 2022

Improved management of financial and HR in pursuit of results

SAMCO conducted two audits during this period (partner audits and internal audit). In preparation on the partner audit, Operations conducted audit preparation and spots checks which assisted in reconciliation of partner ageing accounts in particular both ledgers for UNW and partner. This resulted in the 4 partner audits being unqualified. Lessons learnt from this exercise were the following: (a) Reinforcing confidence between UNW and the partners; (b) Early detection of erroneously reporting and postings. (c) Strengthened audit preparations and guidance (d) Post audit follow up on recommendations from the management report. (e) Areas that need to be strengthened in management of the partner agreement and reporting (f) UNW to organise a workshop for partners on orientation of partner agreements and reporting The Internal Audit was conducted over a two-week period, where Programmatic and Operational business processed were reviewed. Overall, the audit indicated that governance arrangements, risk management practices and controls were generally established and functioning, but need some improvement. The Identified improvement areas were: (a) Defining the Strategic Note Roadmap for SAMCO and its office typology. (b) Strenthen Programme Management and Report, which also includes donor reporting. (c) Effective utilisation of UNW system for reporting (d) Key positions are recruited to address capacity issues (e) Strengthened Operational Effectives in Human Resources and Procurement (f) Identify a diverse pool of partners for a competitive solicitation (g) Improved BCCMA and security compliance (h) Effective risk management reporting and compliance Overall, 23 audit recommendations were identified for the office to address through the audit action plan. Management developed a roadmap in address these recommendations with timeframes and focal persons. From October 2022 to date, 12 action plan recommendations have been reviewed and are awaiting final approval by IAS.
