Launched March 19, 2013 by the Head of State Macky Sall, Act III of decentralization is to organize in Senegal "competitive and sustainable territories carriers sustainable development." The Act III of decentralization is the third of its kind in the decentralization policy in Senegal since independence. If the act III is applied, it will change a lot in how decentralization is designed so far. Member of the monitoring and evaluation of the national steering committee of the decentralization reform, Ousmane Badiane, fixed some of these contours. For him, this act must be backed by a territorial approach to public policy. That is to say, a "regionalization of public policy." From the requirements expressed by the population base to make relevant offers public service. It will be through Act III, as he says the design, review a lot.Redefining the administrative board. With Act III of decentralization, administrative board and the local communities will be redefined. Today, Senegal has 14 regions, 387 rural communities, 172 municipalities with Act III, he says, it will make a readjustment of the national territory from the eco-geographical areas that have clusters development with greater consistency. For example, the Ferlo is that of forest grazing issues, the area of the Groundnut Basin, the area of eastern Senegal with mining, the central zone with phosphates, the area of the green region of the Casamance. If these new eco-geographical areas are defined, there will be several territorial levels. This will enable local authorities to play a more important role in the extent that they are strong poles that will boost what the Local Government Code, that is to say, the economic, cultural, social, health. A mission entrusted to local authorities, but so far, it has not been filled.Material and financial resources. The Act III will also enable these areas to have more material and financial resources. Because what the state provides is quite low. But local authorities had proposed, according to Mr. Badian, that it should be raised about 10 to 15% Vat. In addition, each level of local government will tax its own. Because currently the regions do not have their own tax system. Now if there is a specific area in addition to what can come from decentralized cooperation taxation, local communities will have more resources to deal with nine areas of competence transferred to them.Better reading of the health card. Entities newly cut under Act III of decentralization, to have a better reading of the health card, school card. Because the notice of Ousmane Badiane, there is a lack of harmonization. The health card does not necessarily correspond to administrative boundaries. If we take the district, which is the operational unit in the health strategy, it does not necessarily correspond to a specific local community.Local Public Service. Another happy result for local authorities, Act III will allow these local communities to have a staff that will be governed by the powers transferred in different areas of their loads. As is done in Mali and other countries, where it is the local communities that support teachers, health personnel. This will be accompanied by an enhancement of the status of local elected. Today, there are tasks assigned to local governments, but today in the Senegalese system coexistence between concentration and decentralization, there is no transfer simultaneously as the law says. Any transfer of power must be accompanied by concomitant transfer of resources, which is not currently the case in Senegal. Mr. Badiane think with Act III of decentralization, there will simultaneously transfer of resources to local governments and the decentralization and deconcentration reports will be well articulated. There will be a local authority to be more exercised at the local level, with effective decentralization that leaves the top down.Citizen participation. With Act III of decentralization, citizen participation will be much more active. In the institutional mechanism at the central government to local people, the central government is far away. Because that accessing the Head of State, the Pm, the government, the National Assembly, in these, it is not given to all citizens, but access to the mayor, president of the Regional Council, it is much easier. This will allow a better citizen participation in the life of his country. Citizen participation will result in a boost to participatory and dynamic partnership that will make people feel affected by the measures to be taken to the extent that they will be executed in a local approach.
Time? When asked whether it is possible to complete this work before the local elections in March 2014, Ousmane Badiane suggested that this is the idea. But the exact date? "I do not know," he said. But he is convinced that this could affect the election, if the work can not be done in significant delays that could allow proper organization of elections. "If we had to redefine the administrative board and the local communities, it means that this is a new institutional architecture that will be implemented. There will be a disruption of our institutional scheduling is that it can be completed before the elections "will he demand.
