The results obtained, from this analysis, the working hypothesis. A 10-year time frame (2010-2020) was used as a requirement to search for articles included in the electronic database: Scientific Electronic Library Online - (SCIELO). The results found, from this analysis, are confirmed, with investments related to the sector and the integration with other public policies is important and very necessary to be faced, it refers to the question of the integration of the sanitation policy with the other public policies. he current process of changes in the sector must consider the externalities of the sanitation policy and its relationship with other public policies. The implementation of an effective policy, which encourages service efficiency and considers the social benefits of sanitation actions and the interrelationship with other areas, require municipalities and states to generate reliable information and technical capacity. There is, for example, no integrated information system on sanitation, as well as a monitoring and evaluation methodology, which would make it possible to relate, at local, regional and national levels, sanitation issues with those of public health, environment and housing, leaving exposed to the precariousness of the existing basic sanitation policy.
