The structure of provision of basic sanitation in Brazil: a comparative analysis of the performance of public and private providers
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article provides an analysis that compares the performance of public and private enterprises of basic sanitation in Brazil. The performance differences between enterprises, according to the literature are subject to different incentives, were evaluated based on data from the Sistema Nacional de Informações do Saneamento (Snis) in 2010 from an estimated cross-section for a sample of 4.930 Brazilian municipalities. The results do not provide strong evidence that a group is higher than in most other indicators. Since the groups revealed the superiority of specific indicators, the contribution of this study is to propose the design of a policy that considers various methods of management and provision as a possible solution to the challenge of universal services in the country.
