Description
The Terms of Reference for preparing the PMSB is the guiding document for managers of municipalities of up to 50 thousand inhabitants to prepare their Municipal Basic Sanitation Plan, to access the Federal Government's resources to implement actions and sanitation programs in the municipality.
Funasa carried out the initiative to build a guiding document for municipalities to prepare their PMSB, in order to structure the guidelines, goals and indicators for local basic sanitation, so that municipalities have the appropriate normative instrument to access federal resources to implement their local strategies in the field of basic sanitation.
The Term of Reference is based on the premises of public management and suggests criteria flexible enough to enable its application in municipalities throughout the national territory. It should be noted here that the municipality is instructed to carry out a diagnostic survey and submit information on: i) the nutritional status of children aged 0 to 2; ii) the weight-for-age ratio and the nutritional status of children aged 0 to 2; and iii) the height-for-age ratio.
