Challenge n°5 Algerian influence

Influence and progress

a) Urbanism

What ?

Transversal and inherently social, it addresses the imperatives of territorial planning, accessibility, and mobility. Citizen well-being should be at the heart of urban planning policy.

Why ?

Because the issue of urban planning has been limited to the challenge of construction only. The right to the city should not be limited to major cities alone.

How ?

  • Initiating an audit of recent and ongoing construction projects.
  • Updating the specifications for future projects to include environmental and ecological objectives.
  • Regulating construction and building companies by imposing international standards.
  • Prohibiting direct negotiations for all contracts, including construction projects.
  • Ensuring access for people with reduced mobility to all public and private facilities accessible to the public.
  • Implementing a comprehensive territorial planning policy that ensures the reduction of spatial inequalities in ecological, economic, and social forms, and supports balanced development across all regions of the country.
  • Identifying the needs of residents and establish all necessary tools for sound and sustainable urban management in our cities.

b) Women’s place

What ?

It is the ability of social, cultural, and legal structures to safeguard a valuable source in the construction of present and future Algeria.

Why ?

Because social authority often supersedes institutional authority when it comes to matters concerning women, through the actors who should ensure it.

How ?

  • Enforcing all codes that make up the legal doctrine in alignment with the Algerian constitution.
  • Valorizing domestic work through allowances and a contribution system that grants retirement benefits to stay-at-home mothers.
  • Making the principle of gender equality between men and women a complete and effective reality, with financial sanctions and even suspension measures for parties that are resistant or fail to comply.
  • Criminalizing all forms of harassment against women.
  • Creating a specialized law enforcement department for handling cases of domestic violence throughout the entire territory.
  • Implementing a policy for raising awareness and protecting women’s rights.
  • Providing subsidies and assistance to family planning centers throughout the country.
  • Supporting productive female entrepreneurship.

c) Diplomacy and soft power

What ?

It is Algeria’s ability to influence global decisions as a regional and international actor by leveraging all its resources.

Why ?

Because asserting its power today is a cross-cutting ambition that mobilizes the expertise of state diplomats as well as extra-institutional levers.

How ?

  • Mobilizing the university, scientific, and entrepreneurial diaspora around the world through its diplomatic representations to facilitate the connection of the nation’s vital forces.
  • Implementing a proactive policy focused on Africa as a strategic, economic, scientific, and climate partner.

  • Revitalizing the Maghreb Union through the « Maghreb of the People » initiative.

  • Forging win-win partnerships with commercial and industrial entities.

  • Defining a strategy to accelerate Algeria’s integration into international institutions and establishing an influence policy.

  • Creating pathways for high-level executives from the private sector to join diplomatic missions based on their areas of expertise.
