Algeria

Overview

Peaceful protests across Algeria in recent years showed citizens’ demands for efficient, accountable leadership that responds to their needs and aspirations. Since 1997, NDI has sought to build and strengthen pathways for Algerian citizens’ views to be represented through the political process. NDI supports civil society organizations, political parties, and elected officials – from across Algeria’s political spectrum – to bridge the gap between citizens and decision-makers. In recent years, Algerian civil society partners collaborated with NDI to advocate for improving state assistance to women survivors of domestic violence. Political parties are receiving NDI’s guidance in developing practices for incorporating citizens’ views into their outreach strategies and policy proposals.
