For a Digital Algeria 2030

T
he President of the Republic, Mr. Abdelmajid TEBBOUNE, has accorded a capital priority to the
digitalization project and a personal follow-up of its state of progress, which reflects the strong
political will of the highest authority, in order to achieve a comprehensive digital transformation
in Algeria. In this perspective, Algeria launched a well-thought out approach to align itself with
the technological revolution by creating the High Commission for Digitalization, a supreme
instance placed under the Presidency of the Republic supervision by vertue of Presidential decree
No.23-314 of September 6, 2023. This supreme instance is responsible for overseeing sectoral digitalization
and strategic digital transformation projects in Algeria, while ensuring their monitoring and evaluation.
Among the strategic projects initiated by the High Commission for Digitalization since its creation, is the
development of the National Strategy for Digital Transformation, aiming towards “Digital Algeria 2030”
vision. This strategy represents the first national framework that organizes, supervises, and guides the digital
transformation process in our country, in accordance with the participatory and inclusive approach marked
by the participation of all ministerial departments, experts, stakeholders, and economic operators in the
digitalization field.
The content of this National Strategy for Digital Transformation is based on enhancing the prosperity of
both citizens and businesses to ease transactions, ensuring better connectivity for all and providing fully
digitalized and accessible public services, in order to promote a national digital economy that creates wealth.
The realization of these achievements aligns with the values of our country, particularly those related to the
principles of social justice guaranteed by the Algerian Constitution. It also aligns with the strategic orientations
and supreme ambitions of Mr. President of the Republic, aiming for a comprehensive digitalization across
all sectors. This initiative seeks to make transactions smoother, establish principles of transparency and
equality in access to and acquisition of information, increase productivity, achieve Government efficiency,
and contribute to the growth of the national GDP through digitalization.
The National Strategy for Digital Transformation is based on five strategic axes, two of which are considered
essential for the success of digital transformation in our country. This concerns the “Basic Infrastructure”,
mainly consisting of high-quality interconnection networks and Data Centers, and “Human Resources,
Training, and Research and Development”. As for the three other axes, they target the State’s components,
comprising public authorities that govern and manage through the “Digital Governance” axis, the wealth-
generating economy through the “Digital Economy” axis, and civil society to attain digital inclusion through
the “Digital Society” axis. Each axis comprises a set of strategic objectives, making the total of twenty-five
strategic objectives to attain during the upcoming period 2025-2030. These objectives aim to achieve a set of
values such as transparency and management efficiency, justice and equity, in order to stimulate the national
economy and ensuring sustainable socio-economic development.
Regarding the National Strategy for Digital transformation foundations, they rely on the comprehensive
legal and regulatory framework that organizes, oversees, and governs the digital domain in our country. This
framework is established through the Digital Law, which the High Commission for Digitalization is currently
elaborating, with the active participation of all sectors involved.
On the other hand, this strategy concerns the digital security, which is crucial for protecting key areas and
ensuring the safety of data and systems against cyber threats. This is supported within the framework of the
national information systems security strategy 2025-2029, adopted by the National Council for Information
Systems Security.
Thus, we are strongly determined to move forward towards the desired objectives and achieve the noble
aspirations of our country. This is a reality that Algeria is going to successfully live in accomplishing the digital
transformation, through the goodwill, benevolent intentions, and collaborative efforts of each individual
involved.
May Algeria remain proud, great,
prosperous, and glorious.
Long live Algeria
