description In Sénégal, transfer of competencies from State to local governments through forest management decentralization has arrived in 1996. This study took the production of charcoal as observatory to understand to what point this new governance promotes (or not) the local democracy, in connection with the situation before 1996. It shows that in spite of legal power on any cut given to the rural councilors, representatives of the State through its territorial and forest administrations, and the private sector still largely influence decision makings on forest production without returning account to the local populations. This situation is contrary with the principle of free administration which implies that the local policy options must be the fact of the elected councils, in all the fields with transferred competences.
