ALGIERS – Since the beginning of April 2026, the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) sector in Algeria has reached two significant milestones. These advancements come under the framework of the program “Social and Solidarity Economy at the Service of Sustainable Economic Inclusion for Youth,” a strategic initiative aimed at empowering the next generation of Algerian entrepreneurs.

Building a National Roadmap The first major step involves the launch of a participatory process to develop a National Strategy for SSE. This process focuses on identifying priority issues and defining the primary axes for development. By formulating initial key orientations, the program seeks to create a structured and future-proof strategy that aligns with Algeria’s broader economic goals.

Strengthening Networks and Capacities The second milestone focuses on the “on-the-ground” impact by enhancing the capacities of SSE project leaders and social entrepreneurship actors. The ultimate goal is to formalize a National SSE Development Network, ensuring that social innovators have the resources and connections needed to scale their impact.

Networking for Success In line with these objectives, two networking and consultation workshops were held in Algiers on April 8 and 13, 2026. These sessions brought together a diverse group of stakeholders, including program beneficiaries and implementation partners, to foster collaboration and exchange expertise.

A Strong Partnership This ambitious program is funded by the European Union in Algeria, in a strategic partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Ministry of Labour, Employment, and Social Security. This collaboration underscores a shared commitment to fostering an inclusive economic environment where young Algerians can thrive through socially responsible business models.

ALGIERS – General Saïd Chanegriha, Minister Delegate to the Minister of National Defense and Chief of Staff of the People’s National Army (ANP), inaugurated a high-level seminar on Thursday titled: “External Threats Amid Geopolitical and Technological Shifts: Security Challenges and Strategic Stakes.”

The event, organized by the General Directorate of Documentation and External Security (DGDSE), was attended by the Prime Minister, the Chief of Staff of the Presidency, cabinet members, and senior military officials.

Proactive Strategic Foresight

In his opening remarks, General Chanegriha emphasized that the seminar is part of a continuous effort to instill a culture of proactive thinking within the ANP. He noted that a deeper understanding of global shifts is essential to protecting Algeria’s vital interests and national stability.

“These transformations have led to a highly complex and intertwined international environment characterized by strategic uncertainty and increased competition for resources and influence,” the General stated.

The Role of AI and Cyber Space

Highlighting the technological dimension of modern warfare, the General pointed out that advancements in cyberspace, Artificial Intelligence, and data management are fundamentally reconstructing the logic of power. He asserted that mastering Research and Development (R&D) and knowledge production has become a decisive factor in determining influence in international relations.

Algeria as a Reliable Security Partner

General Chanegriha reaffirmed that Algeria continues to enhance its strategic vigilance by adopting proactive approaches. This strategy ensures that the nation remains a reliable international partner and a key player in its geo-security sphere.

He concluded by reiterating that under the leadership of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, the Army is committed to modernizing its military equipment and training systems to effectively face all forms of current and future threats.
