ABSTRACT
Since 2007, Brazilian municipalities have faced the new challenge posed by Law 11,445, which brought a new organization to the sector management, assuming it as not only services provision but also planning, regulation, supervision and social control. In this paper, 18 environmental sanitation municipal plans were assessed, aiming at understanding difficulties and potentialities for the planning process. Five geographical regions of the country and 14 states were included in the sample. The assessment was guided by the principles of universality, equity, integrality, cross-sectoral relations, quality, policy implementation, management capacity and sustainability. In most cases, weaknesses in policy implementation were identified, as well as the incorporation of the principles in the plans took place only incidentally, although some of them have stood out due to greater adherence to the principles considered (Alagoinhas, BA; Morada Nova, CE; Ariquemes, RO, e Ouro Branco, MG).
