It shows the limitations in official statistics for such services - for instance in their inaccuracy regarding who is served and in their limited range (for instance the lack of attention given to service quality and to provision for drainage). It also shows how the population benefiting from these services is not necessarily the same as that connected to public systems. The paper ends with recommendations for public urban policies and for the collection of data and research to ensure that environmental sanitation services better address health risks. - Reproduced  aSanitation - Brazil  aSanitation  aEnvironment and Urbanization
