Innovative Systems for the Design, Targeting & Management of Social Policies
RESPONDING TO COVID-19
Our solutions have been actively used for supporting the design of nation-wide social policy responses to COVID by the governments of Uruguay, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Mexico.
OUR SOLUTIONS
CRITERIA
Criteria is an interactive decision support system that empowers policy-makers to explore, analyze, and decide over a large space of potential designs and targeting schemes for social policies.
Criteria visualizes interactively the expected poverty impact of policy alternatives, as well as their associated costs. Policies can be designed in terms of: target population, prioritization criteria(s), support amounts, budget constraints, segmentation by relevant groups, and group-specific amounts & selection criteria.
PROXIA
Proxia revolutionizes the income poverty estimators that have been used worldwide during the past two decades for prioritizing households in terms of their socioeconomic need. By introducing accurate statistical methods and high-dimensional household profiles, in the past couple of years, Proxia has been able to substantially reduce exclusion and inclusion errors by up to 39% in several Latin American countries.

SCOPIA
Scopia provides the ability to focus on, explain, and interactively visualize the statistical characteristics underlying the poverty assessments of households.
Scopia is already being used at scale, for allowing social workers to integrate statistical factors from poverty estimators with additional qualitative information they may have, into integrated poverty assessments.
INCLUIA
Incluia builds large-scale and fine-grained maps of urban extreme poverty, which are packaged as a geographic recommendation system aimed at increasing the effectiveness of field social workers in their proactive search for potential beneficiaries of social programs.
Currently Incluia is being piloted in Costa Rica and Brazil.
