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.

UN system in Zimbabwe is coherently contributes to progress on gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls
Through UN Women’s mandate to coordinate Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment (GEWE) within the UN system, the Gender Technical Working Group (GTWG) advanced and promoted Gender Equality through the development and operationalisation of the Gender Mainstreaming Strategy 2022-2026. This was achieved through: strengthening partnerships between UNCT, Government and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) on GEWE; effective participation of National Gender Machinery and CSOs in the design, implementation, Monitoring and Evaluation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF); enhanced capacities and understanding of more than 100 UN Procurement staff, UN vendors and suppliers on Gender Responsive and Disability Inclusion (Virtual Capacity Building done in October 2022) and; strengthened the communication and advocacy on GEWE within the UN system. UNCT collaboration with Government and CSOs on GEWE was not well coordinated and there was weak participation of the National Gender Machinery, CSOs in the design, implementation, and Monitoring of the UNSDCF. In this regard, the GTWG conducted gender and procurement responsive trainings, conducted national consultations on revitalisation of the National Gender Machinery and created strong partnership with the UNCT Communications Group to ensure the incorporation of GEWE priorities into its work including commemorative days such as the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign, and International Women’s Day.Disclaimer and notes
