📋 Tender Overview
The Minister of Cities, Vladimir Lima, received, this Monday (27/4), in Brasilia, the director-president of the Brazilian Association of Sanitation Companies (ABCON), Christianne Dias, to discuss topics related to Brazilian basic sanitation. The meeting reinforced the union of the public and private sector to concentrate investment and efforts towards the goals of universalization of water and sewage services by 2033, as provided for in the Sanitation Legal Framework.
We have an important goal of universalizing water and sewage, so these discussions are part of something bigger, which is to continue investing in basic sanitation and improving peoples health. We have more than R60 billion invested in sanitation through the New PAC and we know that universalization will not only come with public resources, we need a balance with private resources so that we can increasingly improve peoples lives, highlighted the minister.
Updated in 2020, the Legal Framework for Basic Sanitation set the objective of having 99% of the Brazilian population with access to water supply services and 90% with sewage services by the end of 2033. Currently, according to the National Basic Sanitation Information System (Sinisa), whose most recent information collection was carried out last year and refers to data from 2024, the water supply index is at 84.14%, while sewage 62.3%, both with growth compared to 2023.
New projects are being built and we want to focus on universalization, thinking of ways to encourage it to happen as quickly as possible. The sanitation sector demands cooperative federalism, so we have to have unity and a macro view. This is extremely important for the service to get off the ground and be able to expand the network, after all, investments are needed that neither the private nor the public sector can achieve alone. It takes unity and we are seeing this through the materialization of successful PPPs, added the CEO of ABCON SINDCON.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), for every R1 spent on sanitation, R4 is saved on public health. The Ministry of Cities investment portfolio in basic sanitation totals R60.6 billion for water supply, sewage, solid waste management and urban drainage, in addition to more than R30 billion in incentivized debentures.
