“…This paper presents several innovations in comparison to a related work previously published [6]. First, it presents a conceptual innovation by adopting the categories and concepts proposed by JMP in 2017, the international reference with regard to the assessment and monitoring of water supply, sanitation, and hygiene.…”

“…The diagnosis of the sanitation situation in Brazil presented in the National Plan of Basic Sanitation (PLANSAB) showed great inequalities in access to services [1], reflecting the intense socio-spatial segregation observed in several major Brazilian cities [2][3][4][5], as is the case in the Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Region (RMBH) [6], the third-largest metropolitan region in the country. Since its founding in 1897, the history of the city of Belo Horizonte has been marked by a systematic gap between population growth and the capacity of water supply and sanitation systems, especially in its peripheral neighborhoods [7].…”

“…In the case of the RMBH, established in 1973, this problem is reflected in the absence of sanitation services and inequalities in access between population subgroups and among the 34 municipalities that currently comprise the region. Although the RMBH is located in the most economically developed region of the country (Brazilian Southeast) and its population as a whole has a higher coverage of sanitation services than the national average [6], the level of access varies widely between municipalities and population subgroups. According to the 2010 Demographic Census, almost seven thousand households in the RMBH did not have bathrooms, a pervasive problem in many of the informal settlements existing in the region, where housing precariousness is particularly evident [8].…”

In order for the goals and targets of the 2030 Agenda to be achieved, it is essential to “localize” the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), since it is only at the local level that it is possible to move towards their effective implementation. This article seeks to contribute to the development of evaluation and monitoring strategies for target 6.2 at the local level, adapting the official SDG indicator 6.2.1a and the international criteria established by the Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (coordinated by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)) at the municipal scale. Using the Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Region (RMBH) as a case study, a series of methodological procedures is proposed to assess and monitor equitable access to sanitation services. Inequalities in access to services between different population subgroups and between the municipalities that make up the RMBH are explored in different ways, including the evaluation of intersecting forms of inequality, the mapping of a synthetic index of inequality based on multiple criteria and the projection of the time needed to achieve universal access to services according to international criteria. The procedures applied demonstrated the existence of significant inequalities among the municipalities and population subgroups of the RMBH, which are not evident in the analysis of the aggregated data by municipality.

“…Ademais, percebe-se que as desigualdades de acesso ao saneamento também ocorrem entre as áreas rurais e urbanas, onde as áreas rurais possuem um déficit mais elevado. O Brasil, no entanto, possui obrigações legais de cumprir com esses direitos e, sobretudo, de não os violar o que é respaldado tanto pelos tratados internacionais quanto pela legislação nacional (NAHAS et al, 2018). O período analisado apresentou número de casos de hepatite na faixa entre 0,11 e 0,21 casos por dez mil habitantes.…”

A distribuição desigual da infraestrutura de saneamento nos municípios brasileiros propicia que a proliferação de determinadas doenças atinja grupos populacionais de forma diferente. Esse trabalho objetiva analisar as relações entre as condições sanitárias e a saúde ambiental no estado do Rio de Janeiro, no período de 2007 a 2014. Para isso foram utilizados indicadores de saneamento do Censo Demográfico de 2010 relacionados às condições de infraestrutura dos domicílios particulares permanentes atendidos por abastecimento de água, esgotamento sanitário e coleta de lixo. Dados sobre as doenças relacionadas ao saneamento ambiental inadequado, como a dengue e a hepatite, foram obtidos no DATASUS. Foram aplicadas técnicas de geoprocessamento, de estatística descritiva e de análise multivariada. Observou-se que a dengue apresentou número de ocorrências mais elevado em relação à hepatite, no entanto a primeira apresentou oscilação interanual dos números de casos, enquanto as ocorrências da hepatite exibiram tendência de crescimento no período estudado. A dengue e a hepatite apresentaram maior correlação com a renda média domiciliar mensal, enquanto a hepatite revelou também correlação com os domicílios particulares permanentes com fossa séptica. Por fim, conclui-se que, com os procedimentos metodológicos aqui utilizados, foi possível compreender a distribuição espacial das doenças e seu relacionamento com os indicadores sócios sanitários. Desta forma, podem auxiliar no mapeamento dos riscos e, assim, na adoção de políticas públicas de saúde.

“…Inequality in access to water supply and sanitation services (WASH services) has already been the subject of several studies and discussions [2][3][4]. However, when access to water and sanitation was explicitly recognized as universal human rights by the UN in 2010, this issue was put on the center of the debates in the sector [5][6][7][8]. The HRWS were incorporated into the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, particularly in the SDG 6: "Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all".…”

New Approaches to Monitor Inequalities in Access to Water and Sanitation: The SDGs in Latin America and the Caribbean

In the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, Targets 6.1 and 6.2 show, in their formulation, some alignment with the normative content of the human rights to water and sanitation (HRWS). However, the principle of equality and non-discrimination, which applies to all human rights, was not clearly incorporated into the indicators adopted to assess and monitor these targets. This paper contributes to bridging this gap by proposing two methodological strategies to address inequalities in analyses of access to water and sanitation services. The first consists in adjusting the indicators of access to these services according to inequality. The second proposes an assessment of intersecting forms of inequality. An application of these methods in Latin America and the Caribbean highlights significant regional heterogeneity and elevated inequality in access to services in the countries of this region. The methods demonstrate their potential in contributing to assessment and monitoring of the SDGs, but outdated or lacking data are obstacles to more in-depth analyses.
