intellectual and diplomatic activity to influence the national policies of member countries, aimed at achieving universal coverage in water and sanitation, approved for the

of water to ensure the health and improve the well-being of people”; the approach
to access to water makes sewage invisible and postpones the need to improve and
sustain the management of providers. National hegemonic knowledge, which is developed with contributions from global knowledge, is decisive for the elaboration of
diagnoses and the approval of national policies
