• Abstract:

  The basic sanitation sector has been highlighted in recent years, with the discussion of the New Regulatory Framework for Basic Sanitation. Information on the sector in Brazil is mostly found in the National Sanitation Information System (SNIS), an extensive database that seeks to reflect the challenging reality of the low coverage indicators of these services in the country, in each municipality, among other information. and indicators. Faced with the political, administrative and institutional challenge presented by the New Sanitation Regulatory Framework, the availability of up-to-date information on basic sanitation systems in Brazilian municipalities is essential to devise strategies and achieve the goal of universalization of services, as projected by Agenda 2033. The compatibility of the data available on the SNIS with reality must be analyzed to ensure assertive strategies for achieving the goals established in the New Framework, especially with regard to the universalization of services. In order to bring the research closer to reality, the State of Maranhão was chosen as a case study in this work. The results indicate that there is a distortion, outdatedness and even lack of data in the SNIS compared to reality, a fact that directly impacts the planning of strategies for the sector. This situation may harm Maranhão in the design of its public policies, as well as it may be harming other states in the country.
