During a technical mission held between 7 and 16 April, Brazilian researchers followed through the action BraSIS (Brazilian Sanitation Information System), from the 6th Call of the EU-Brazil Sector Dialogues Support Facility. During meetings in Ispra, Italy, at the Water Resources Unit (WRU) of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Union, the Brazilian experts shared information and experiences in sanitation with their European peers.
The delegation included Prof. Pierre Mazzega, Director of Research at the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) and co-director of the Observatory- Laboratory of Environmental Change of the Geosciences Institute of the University of Brasilia (UNB), and Prof. Sergio Pacheco de Oliveira, researcher with the National School of Public Health of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (ENSP / FIOCRUZ).
Both experts presented to the JRC staff key facts and figures about Brazilian sanitation and the guidelines for the latest research made in the country. They also discussed the action BraSIS and how it will contribute to the development of a future national sanitation information system. In turn, the European researchers shared the experience accumulated by the EU in the analysis of sanitation services, indicators and information systems.
With the information gathered, a publication will be put together with reports specially prepared for the action BraSIS, articles by researchers and a set of recommendations for the public sector. This collection - which is due for August this year - will take the form of a European Union / JRC report and will be signed jointly by FIOCRUZ (Brazil), the WRU / JRC (Italy / EU) and the IRD (France).
