System for Identification of Potential Beneficiaries of Social Programs
This program is a social analysis tool from which the government can better understand the needs of Colombian families according to their level of social and economic vulnerability.
The Sisbén analysis method on the ground evaluates family income, which also considers social concerns and the region of residence of each individual. To decide, a much more in-depth analysis will be carried out to accurately evaluate socio-environmental factors and including the structure of the home, access to basic services and education.
After completing your registration, you will need to answer a series of protocol questions to analyze your financial and social situation. Your answers are important so that the system understands more about your reality and assigns you a score compatible with your category of social needs.
Remember that the lower your score, the more benefits you can receive. And if your score is high, it means you will have less government support and aid.
