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.

By 2026, all people in Zimbabwe, especially the most vulnerable and marginalized, benefit from more accountable institutions and systems for rule of law, human rights and access to justice (CF outcome 4, SP outcome 1).
The Outcome is linked to SP Outcome 1. A comprehensive and dynamic set of global norms and standards on gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls is strengthened and translated into gender-responsive laws, policies, and institutions.

By 2026, all people in Zimbabwe, especially the most vulnerable and marginalized, benefit from more accountable institutions and systems for rule of law, human rights and access to justice (CF outcome 4, SP outcome 1).
The Government of Zimbabwe has demonstrated its commitment to the participation of Women in peace processes by developing a draft costed National Action Plan (NAP) on UNSCR 1325 on Women, Peace, and Security. This commitment is inviting women to meaningfully participate in the peace processes. If adopted and successfully implemented, the NAP will increase women’s access and effective participation in peace mediation and negotiation in the country. The draft NAP was developed through an inclusive process, led by the Government. The development of the draft NAP is an outcome of a long and protracted process where Government buys in, ownership and leadership started as far back as 2016. The challenges of getting the Government to develop the NAP included low understanding of the application of 1325, sensitivities to peace and security issues especially related to political violence in the context of Zimbabwe’s political climate. Through targeted advocacy, strategic engagements and research by UN Women, the Ministry of Women Affairs, Community, Small and Medium Enterprises Development and the Ministry of Defence and War Veteran Affairs publicly officially announced their intention to develop the NAP and for the first time, Zimbabwe now has a draft costed NAP on 1325. The ZCO replicated the structures and process learnt in developing the NAP 1325 in the support currently being given to the Ministry of Youth, Sport, Arts and Recreation in developing the NAP on Youth, Peace, and Security. A creative innovation tied to this result was the training of Members of Parliament and the development of a Handbook on the role of Parliament on 1325. This will ensure that Parliament as a separate arm of Government can exercise its oversight role to ensure that the Executive finalises and implements the NAP. This capacitation of Parliamentarians will enable them to exercise their legislative, oversight and representative role on the implementation of 1325 in Zimbabwe once it is adopted.Disclaimer and notes
