transparency, corruption, the use of public services and community property at the expense of the general interest are all factors which encourage an inefficient allocation of resources, thus, leading to poor economic and social results. 135. In addition to this initial factor, one may add the ineffectiveness of institutions responsible for policy and programme implementation, in particular difficulties in communicating and coordinating the roles of the various players such as the State, stakeholders in the decentralization process , civil society and the private sector. 136. As it shall be seen, looking at the action of the State in implementing the relevant provisions of the African Charter on the rights of women and the right to health, the effective implementation of the African Charter is still dependent on the physical and operational modernization of the structures, intelligent linkage of the various programmes and policies, human resource development, promotion of the participatory process in the area of government action, simplification of administrative procedures and more importantly, promotion of the culture of results-based management by Government, particularly concerning respect for human rights. 137. During the period under review covered by this periodic report, the adoption and implementation of the first Social Orientation Law39 of Senegal relate to this strategy. In fact, its main purpose is to serve as a reference framework of the institutional mechanism in terms of responsibility and integration of a legal category, the inclusion of which is necessary to ensure that Senegal complies with its international commitments. The originality of this approach lies in the preparation process which brings on board all concerned national stakeholders ; it also takes all aspects into account, in a coordinated manner, (resource mobilization, supervision,etc.), protection of this vulnerable section of the population, in particular, persons with disabilities. 138. This report, which does not cover all the rights laid down by the African Charter, considers the implementation of a number of civil and political rights on the one hand, and economic, social and cultural rights, on the other, in the spirit of the African Charter which establishes that “civil and political rights (remain) inseparable from economic, social and cultural rights in both their conception and their universality and that the realization of economic, social and cultural rights should guarantee the enjoyment of civil and political 40 rights. ». 139. Furthermore, all collective rights are not specifically treated for the simple and good reason that the Senegalese authorities hope to give it a pride of 39 The Law of Social Orientation No 2010-15 of 6 July 2010 relating to the promotion and protection of persons with disabilities. 40 Cf the 7th Recital of the Preamble of the African Charter 32
