Resumo:
After more than 30 years of the Federal Constitution of 1988 and 14 years of Federal Law No. 11,445/2007, basic sanitation has not reached a comfortable situation, with a deficit in several Brazilian regions. In addition, rural sanitation has more worrying numbers than when compared to urban areas, and it is necessary to think of solutions, so that the universalization goals, brought by Plansab and Federal Law n° 14.026/2020, are achieved. In view of the situation that municipalities face, especially small ones, with regard to sanitation in rural areas, this work aims to develop a management model in order to help municipalities implement actions to achieve the universalization of sanitation. rural area, observing what is proposed by the National Rural Sanitation Program (PNSR). The work was built using as a basis in the PNSR, the existing legal framework in Brazil, the SISAR model and guiding materials from Funasa, MPMG and Senar, the last two for the organization and formalization of rural associations and the researchers' professional experience. The construction of the management model went through the following phases: Development of an organizational structure, observing the strengthening and training of community associations and rural residents; Diagnosis; Proposition of actions Hierarchy of actions; Implementation of actions and Training of communities/residents to manage the systems. The hypothesis tested in this research was: will the proposed management model help the structuring of rural sanitation actions in the municipalities? For validation, the municipality of Elói Mendes/MG was used. The proposed management model proved to be relevant and aligned with the PNSR, as well as helping to achieve the goals proposed in Federal Law No. 14.026/2020. The application of the management model proved to be adequate during the validation/preparation of the Municipal Basic Sanitation Plan, enabling the organization of rural sanitation actions.
