Brazil’s Water & Sanitation Reform: Achieving Universal Access Through Governance & Investment
Q: If you had a magic wand, what one thing would you change to achieve universal access, given limited public resources?
Strengthen long-term institutional capacity and planning continuity to sustain shared priorities beyond electoral cycles, ensuring resilience and trust across institutions so universal access can endure political changes.
Brazil’s Water & Sanitation Reform: Achieving Universal Access Through Governance & Investment
Q: What is ANA's mandate under the new framework and how does it influence investment origination and structuring?

Brazil’s Water & Sanitation Reform: Achieving Universal Access Through Governance & Investment
Q: Could you tell us more about Brazil's new water and sanitation sector framework?
Ana explains that the reform standardizes national regulation, promotes regionalization for scale, and expands ANA's role to issue reference standards. The aim is to move from a fragmented system to a coordinated, investment-friendly framework that aligns public and private actors toward universal access by 2033.
Clean Water and Empowered Participation: Scaling Regenerative Infrastructure Systems in the Amazon
Q: Could you tell us more about the Rainforest Water Supply Model and the roles and stakeholders involved?
The model starts with community involvement through water committees, builds gravity-fed water and sanitation infrastructure, uses local environmental engineering know-how, and funds maintenance via household fees, with an emphasis on indigenous leadership and ongoing training to sustain operations.
The Role of Architects as Systems Thinkers and Conveners Bridging Communities, Ecosystems & Finance
Q: What are the main barriers banking and finance face when funding regenerative design, and how can those be overcome?
Barriers include fear of unproven ROI and lack of standardized metrics for ecosystem and social benefits; these can be overcome by creating transparent project narratives, piloting small-scale projects to demonstrate impact, and building a plumbing of funding options that connect funds with aligned community outcomes.
