The Brazilian Unified Registry (Cadastro Único in Portuguese) is the tool that enabled the Government of Brazil to identify the most pressing needs of the poor segment of the population, and to deliver the programs and services required by this population. After the Bolsa Família Program, the Unified Registry was consolidated as the main tool for identifying Brazil´s low-income population. Today it plays a vital role in the functioning of country's social protection system.
