About Instituto Água e Saneamento

Our mission is to mobilize efforts to ensure universal sanitation in Brazil, with a special focus on expanding access to sewage services.

Who we are

We are a leading civil society organization that promotes engagement with water and sanitation issues in Brazil, fosters knowledge sharing, and monitors public policies related to the sector.

Our work is organized on three pillars:

Coordination

We encourage people and organizations engaged with the water and sanitation agenda in Brazil and around the world to join forces. We create spaces for interaction and collaboration to foster joint actions.

Knowledge

Our work expands access to and use of information on sanitation. We organize data from official sources and monitor the implementation of public policies to support the dissemination of reliable and up-to-date content.

Advocacy

Our efforts are focused on improving and strengthening public policies related to water and sanitation in Brazil. Through advocacy actions and multisectoral dialogue with researchers, government, the private sector, and civil society, we aim to advance legislation, policies, and initiatives within the sanitation sector.
