This report from UK think tank Chatham House offers the first comprehensive mapping of the social protection space in Algeria.
This research paper offers the first comprehensive mapping of the social protection space in Algeria, highlighting the broad activities led by government entities, but also the important role of homegrown civil society organizations (CSOs) and community-based organizations.
The paper provides a snapshot of public opinion on key social protection-related issues.
The analysis here illustrates the richness and the diversity of both formal and informal CSOs and community networks that work in Algeria’s social protection and voluntary sector, while also highlighting their fragmentation, which engenders lost opportunities around the pooling of resources.
