Among developing countries, least developed countries are those that have been particularly slow to develop. They are also known as the "Fourth World" countries. They are certified by a resolution of the United Nations General Assembly after deliberation by the United Nations Economic and Social Council based on the criteria approved by the United Nations Committee for Development Policy (CDP). Certification is done every three years based on quantitative indicators such as gross national income (GNI) per capita, human assets index (HAI), and economic vulnerability index (EVI), and a list is created with the consent of the country. The criteria established in 2012 required a per capita GNI (average from 2008 to 2010) of $992 or less, and the following 49 countries, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa, have been certified. The study covers 34 African countries (Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Niger, Rwanda, Sao Tome and Principe, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Togo, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia), 9 Asian countries (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Yemen, Timor-Leste), 5 Oceanian countries (Kiribati, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Vanuatu), and 1 Latin American country (Haiti).
