If you are already in Sisfoh, what social programs or BENEFITS can you access?

The Household Targeting System (Sisfoh) is used as a technical tool designed to identify households that are in conditions of poverty and vulnerability. Its main task is to categorize households into different socioeconomic levels, which facilitates the effective allocation of social programs and implementation of public policies. In this way, citizens registered in this registry have the possibility of accessing a variety of benefits aimed at strengthening their economic situation and that of their families.

It is important to know that not all people are classified within any category in Sisfoh, so the set of economic and social supports is aimed at a specific segment of the population. Below, we tell you detailed information about what you need to know about the subject.

Sisfoh socioeconomic classification: what are they?

The entity classifies households into three main categories: non-poor, poor and in extreme poverty. This process is based on an exhaustive analysis that considers income, living conditions and other relevant socioeconomic aspects with the purpose of guaranteeing a fair and equitable allocation of resources.
