A Avaliação da Política Nacional de Saneamento Pós 64

Abstract

This paper is based on the Ph.D. thesis named ‘A Política Nacional de Saneamento Pós- 64’ (The National Policy on water supply and wastewater Disposal after 1964) submitted in September 1987 at FAUUSP. The research consisted in a systematic evaluation upon the national policy of 1970, with special concern to the contradictions raised on the process of its implementation. Such an evaluation aimed at to overlap of the official discourse as a way to understand the refered contradictions and the limits of the policy itself. The federal government policy on water supply and wastewater disposal may only be understood as the result of a combination of different interests, among which are particulary important the economic federal policy, the BNH — National thousing Bank concerns as a financial institution and the strong lobby composed by private and public actors organized around that policy
