DESAFIO

We can say that DESAFIO was not a project about water and sanitation, because this specific topic is like a window to observe something more interesting to us, which is the process of democratization of society. Water and sanitation, or basic sanitation services, are just one among many other topics related to the democratization of society. We are not talking here just about democratizing electoral politics, but about the material, concrete, real democratization of society. In fact, in the seminar we will talk about water and sanitation, however we do this because our interest is focused on how to democratize the politics of public services, including the politics of basic sanitation.
