5. Translators note: We use the term "local authority" throughout this paper to translate the French word commune. The Senegalese administrative system divides the country into regions which, in turn, are divided into départemenfs. The latter contain communes (urban) and communautés rurales. The urban commune is sub-divided into quartiers which we have translated as districts.
