In Colombia, the Sisbén system identifies individuals for social programs based on income classification but faces significant implementation issues. Critics argue that it is exclusionary, failing to properly identify and support the most vulnerable populations. Access to the required survey and the processes for updating data are inconsistent, making it difficult for those in need to receive assistance. Additionally, individuals lack effective means to dispute their classification, raising concerns about transparency and accountability. Recommendations include improved auditability of the algorithm, accessible data correction channels, and stronger protections for personal data.
In Colombia, the Sisbén system for classifying social program beneficiaries is exclusionary and problematic, blocking access to crucial services for vulnerable populations.
The implementation of Sisbén fails in practice due to barriers in accessing surveys, updating personal data, and a lack of means to challenge classifications.
