The High Commission for Digitalization in Algeria and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) have signed a declaration of intent to fast-track the implementation of Algeria’s national digital transformation strategy, reinforcing their shared commitment to advancing innovation, governance, and public service modernization.
The agreement was signed during a meeting in Algiers between Meriem Benmouloud, High Commissioner for Digitalization (with ministerial rank), and Natasha van Rijn, UNDP Resident Representative in Algeria. The declaration aims to accelerate the rollout of the “Digital Algeria 2030” vision, with a focus on short-term goals for 2025–2026.
According to the High Commission’s statement, the first phase of implementation includes over 500 identified projects, with 75% targeting improved public services. Each initiative will be monitored through performance indicators to ensure measurable progress and accountability.
The “Digital Algeria 2030” strategy serves as the country’s foundational framework for structuring and guiding its digital transformation journey. It is built around five strategic pillars:
Basic digital infrastructure
Human resources and training
Research and development
Digital governance
Digital economy and digital society
Through cooperation with ministerial departments and public institutions, the High Commission aims to establish an integrated national roadmap that supports efficient e-governance, strengthens digital inclusion, and promotes sustainable development through technology.
The collaboration with UNDP underscores Algeria’s ambition to become a regional leader in digital innovation, leveraging global expertise to modernize public services, expand connectivity, and build human capacity for the digital age.
