Automated Neglect: How The World Bank’s Push to Allocate Cash Assistance Using 
Algorithms Threatens Rights

Abstract:
Governments worldwide are turning to automation to help them deliver essential 
public services, such as food, housing, and cash assistance. But some forms of 
automation are excluding people from services and singling them out for 
investigation based on errors, discriminatory criteria, or stereotypes about 
poverty. Despite these harms, the allure of tech-based solutions to complex 
social problems is proving hard to resist.

The World Bank is one of the biggest development actors driving this trend, 
particularly in the Global South, placing big bets on data-intensive 
technologies to help governments deliver services. This includes major cash 
transfer programs that give certain individuals or families financial support. 
In the Middle East and North Africa alone, eight of ten borrowing countries 
have received Bank loans to upgrade these programs.
