The Identification System of Potential Beneficiaries of Social Programs (Sisbén) is a socioeconomic classification tool that helps the Government to know the real needs of the population in order to develop efficient public policies to reduce inequality and improve living conditions in a comprehensive and sustainable manner. Which Sisben groups will continue to receive aid?
In the latest update of this system, potential beneficiaries of social programs are classified into groups named by letters and not by scores, which in turn are divided into subgroups as follows:
In this way, the groups of Sisbén A (includes homes with subclassification from A1 to A5), and B (from B1 to B7), correspond to homes that are in extreme and moderate poverty, respectively, Therefore, they have priority in the allocation of resources and access to social programs.
Due to their greater vulnerability, families belonging to these groups are the ones that receive greater assistance with the aim of guaranteeing their food security and basic needs.
