Universalization of sanitation in the rural area of ​​the state of Ceará - Brazil

Civil society organization

#SDGAction50765
    Description
    Description

    Sisar is a federation of rural community associations that have a water/sewage system to manage shared with its affiliates, which aims to ensure the improvement of the quality of life of the rural population with the supply of treated water every day and every hour, improvement in access to treated water, through a water distribution network and, finally, the universalization of water, restoring the dignity of beneficiaries and meeting the human rights of access to water, ensuring the provision of maintenance services in sanitation in a self-managed and self-sustainable way, contributing to social development and environmental preservation. Through a monthly contribution, Sisar finances a structure responsible for maintaining its systems, providing inputs for water maintenance and treatment, and also for social training in communities. The management of the systems is carried out jointly between the Association and Sisar, currently the model is present in 165 municipalities in the state of Ceará, operating in 2,040 communities, benefiting more than 911 thousand people.
    Until reaching the communities, Sisar has three administrative spheres, ensuring that processes and activities are well designed and work effectively, namely: strategic level, tactical level and operational level. At the strategic level, Sisar is made up of a General Assembly, made up of representatives from each affiliated community, an administrative council and a fiscal council that rely on advice from the Sisar Institute and CAGECE. The tactical part is made up of three managers: technical, administrative-financial and social who manage and make strategic decisions to achieve the organization's objectives and, finally, the operational area which is made up of supervisors and assistants who carry out the training and operational activities.

    Expected Impact

    With these actions, it is expected to achieve the universalization of water in the state of Ceará, through the treatment of water in Treatment Stations and the supply of water through a distribution network and building connections so that water reaches homes every day and every day. hour. Through access to treated water, it is possible to reduce the incidence of waterborne diseases, providing a healthier environment for the population.
    Currently, the rural population of the state is approximately 2.1 million people, Sisar serves 45% of this total, making it necessary to expand the model within the state itself and to other regions that also have a lack of water supply. Through private partnerships, Sisar is gradually expanding its operations to the state of Maranhão and the state of Pernambuco, for example.
