Algeria has launched a national data governance framework aimed at accelerating state modernisation and digital transformation, establishing a structured legal, institutional, and technical model for managing public data across government entities.
Announced by Prime Minister Sifi Ghrieb, the initiative positions data as a strategic national asset and introduces a sovereign approach focused on data control, organisation, and protection. The framework is designed to transition public administration toward data-driven governance, enabling more informed decision-making through reliable and integrated information systems.
The framework sets out standards for the collection, storage, sharing, and use of public data while strengthening cybersecurity, interoperability between public institutions, and the creation of a unified national database of data sources. By enabling secure and standardised information exchange, authorities aim to reduce data silos, improve the accuracy of public statistics, and support the development of digital public services based on regularly updated datasets.
The initiative aligns with Algeria’s “Digital Algeria 2030” strategy, which focuses on administrative modernisation and digital economy development. It builds on recent investments in digital infrastructure, including the deployment of five regional data centres dedicated to hosting and securing public information.
Formally anchored under Presidential Decree No. 25-350 issued on December 30, 2025, the framework is expected to improve coordination between public administrations, provide greater regulatory clarity for economic operators, and strengthen the role of data in supporting national digital transformation and economic competitiveness.
