AVALIAÇÃO DA POLÍTICA ESTADUAL DE SANEAMENTO PARA A REGIÃO NORTE E NORDESTE DO ESTADO DE MINAS GERAIS: uma análise do Projeto Vida no Vale
Abstract
In order to perform an analysis of public policy(pp) concerning sanitation problems in the North and Northeast of Minas Gerais State, this study attempted to assess the materialization of the "Vida no Vale" Project. Thus, it carries out a discussion on the assumptions established during the development and implementation of the State policy of basic sanitation. The methodology used in the evaluation of PP was based on the model of objectives and performed "ex post", through the verification criteria and issues related to suitability, resoluteness and fairness. The results suggest that only 29.8% of the localities were covered by 2011, showing delay from the aims of universality, as well as lack of social control based on participatory and shared management, worsened by the difficulty of obtaining information about the financial performance and application of resources. Lack of transparency over produced distortions and asymmetry of information, impacting the assessment possibilities.
