Algiers, [Date] – Ministerial committees have launched intensive field visits to eleven administrative districts earmarked for elevation to full province status, DZWatch has learned. This initiative aligns with President Abdelmadjid Tebboune’s commitment to modernize administrative management and bring decision-making closer to citizens.
The move follows directives from the Minister of Interior, Said Saayoud, who emphasized the need for a detailed roadmap to ensure a smooth and well-considered transition for these districts. The committees are currently conducting a comprehensive assessment of readiness, focusing on technical, functional, and logistical aspects. The goal is to ensure that these new provinces are fully equipped to meet the needs and expectations of their populations from the outset.
DZWatch understands that the evaluation process includes a thorough review of existing infrastructure, human resources, and the capacity to deliver essential public services. The committees are also examining the potential economic impact of the upgrade, seeking to identify opportunities for growth and development in the newly established provinces.
The creation of these new provinces is expected to streamline administrative processes, enhance local governance, and accelerate socio-economic development across the country. By decentralizing power and resources, the government aims to empower local communities and foster greater citizen participation in decision-making.
The initiative is part of a broader reform agenda aimed at strengthening the foundations of a modern and efficient state, capable of responding effectively to the evolving needs of its citizens. DZWatch will continue to monitor developments and provide in-depth coverage of this significant administrative reform.
