Algiers, December 3, 2025 – The Algerian government is intensifying its efforts to expedite digital transformation and advance critical infrastructure projects across the nation. A high-level government meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Sifi Ghrib, convened today to review progress on key initiatives related to digitization, communications, and major infrastructure development.

Beyond digital and connectivity initiatives, the meeting addressed ongoing infrastructure projects, including the construction of the Constantine sports complex, the Boukhroufa dam project in El Tarf province, and the vital water transfer project between Ighil Emda and Mahouane, connecting Bejaia and Setif provinces. This water project is considered crucial for enhancing water security in the region.
Today’s meeting underscores the government’s commitment to accelerating digital reforms and closely monitoring the progress of strategically important infrastructure projects. These efforts are aimed at improving public services and supporting sustainable economic development across Algeria.
