Abstract

The Itaipu Technological Park Foundation in partnership with Itaipu Binacional develops actions in the western Paraná/Brazil purposing the promotion of a regional dialogue on basic sanitation and its relevance on health. Therefore, a methodology of technical support to public management was developed for Basic Sanitation and Solid Waste Plans, in consonance with the counties reality and contributing to universal access to sanitation services and legal compliance. According to the Brazilian Policy on Basic Sanitation (Federal Law 11455/2007), municipalities should plan their public services in the four axes, and in this context, the processes that define the support methodology we redefined, such as: assistance to prioritization of the social dialogue; technical support for diagnosis and formulation of goals and projects; and institution of the Municipal Policies. This study presents the methodology applied in Pato Bragado/PR, where the motivation of the county’s technicians was observed, as well as the effectiveness of social mobilization and the awareness of municipal management as key points for boosting sanitation actions. Since it is provided and supervised by the Public Administration, basic sanitation planning is not delegable. However, the possibility of intervention presented as a viable alternative for reinforcement of the duty, technical strengthening of the planning, and guarantee of legal compliance, presenting great return.
