SUMMARY:

In Brazil, the public discussion of basic sanitation is marked by questions about the insufficiency of the Brazilian State in the role of leadership and investment in the sector, of municipal entities in managing public services effectively, of the evident low coverage of access to the service. translated into the dichotomy of recognizing the sector as a human right or as a good on the market. In the midst of this reality and going on a path different from the Brazilian reality, there are five municipalities: Bom Jesus, Monte Alegre, Nísia Floresta, São José de Mipibu and Vera Cruz, all with a population of less than 50 thousand inhabitants, in the Metropolitan Region of Natal (RMN), who managed to institute their Municipal Policies and Plans for Basic Sanitation (PMSB's). The question is: What factors enabled the institutionalization of the Policy and PMSB in the studied municipalities?; and Does the institutionalized structure guarantee the effectiveness of the Policy/Plan? It starts from the hypothesis that the five municipalities studied were already endowed, before instituting their Municipal Plans and Policies for Basic Sanitation, with a technical, institutional, administrative and management policy structure that influenced the conclusion of the two public policies. Therefore, this research has as general objective: To comparatively analyze the factors that enabled the institutionalization of the Municipal Basic Sanitation Policy and Plan in the 5 municipalities studied and whether this institutionalization is sufficient for the effectiveness of the policy. Methodologically, the time frame from 2007 to 2021 is proposed, since the first is the year of enactment of Law 11.445/2007, which establishes national guidelines for basic sanitation in Brazil. It starts with a bibliographical review and documental analysis of the main institutional norms of the sector (Programs, Plans, Projects and Laws) both at national and municipal level. It is intended to interview the groups that acted in the conclusion of the Policy and PMSB of the studied municipalities: 1. Municipal managers, represented by the mayor or municipal secretary linked to sanitation; 2. Technical team for the preparation or assessment of PMSB in the municipality, represented by at least one member of the executive and/or coordination committee; 3. Project Team “Research PMSB”, an agreement that provided technical support and training for the municipalities studied, represented by at least 1 member of the project management; 4. Representatives of the Rio Grande do Norte Water and Sewage Company (CAERN) that provides services to the studied municipalities; and 5. Basic sanitation specialists. To find the possible influencing factors and the consequences after approval of the Policy and PMSB's, the indicators that will be used for evaluation are: Legal-institutional adaptations; Professional bureaucracy; Universalization of services; Sustainability according to Agenda 2030); Municipal budget (PPA, LOA and LDO); and Social Participation Instruments.
