Decree No. 2006-1099 of 12 October 2006 establishing the Department of Koungheul.
[| PRESENTATION REPORT
|]
Within the framework of the policy of devolution undertaken by the State of Senegal irreversibly and consisting in bringing each day closer to the administration of its users, a rebalancing of territorial administrative structures has taken place. Operated through an administrative division.
However, recent territorial reforms have not achieved the objectives of streamlining the territorial administrative organisation. Thus, it has been found that the extent of the Kaffrine department does not provide an optimal administrative framework capable of satisfying, in a satisfactory manner, the concerns of local populations, in particular by Reconciliation of the administration of its administered administration.
To remedy this, it is proposed to split the current department of Kaffrine into two entities: Kaffrine and koungheul. The latter, established in the autonomous department with the head of Koungheul, consists of the Commune of Koungheul and the Arrondissement of Maka Yop.
That is the economy of this decree.
