Algeria has officially launched a national data governance framework aimed at accelerating state modernization and supporting the country’s digital transformation agenda, as part of its broader “Digital Algeria 2030” strategy.
Announced by Prime Minister Sifi Ghrieb, the initiative establishes a comprehensive legal, institutional, and technical framework for managing public data. The government described the framework as a foundation for transitioning from traditional administrative systems toward data-driven governance, where reliable and structured data supports policy development and public service delivery.
The framework introduces mechanisms to organize the collection, storage, sharing, and use of public data while strengthening information system security and enabling interoperability between government entities. By standardizing data exchange across public institutions, authorities aim to reduce data silos, improve the accuracy of national statistics, and support the development of digital services built on centralized and regularly updated data sources.
Public data has been positioned as a strategic national asset under the new model, with a focus on data control, protection, and structured utilization. The initiative also includes the creation of a unified national database of data sources, enabling secure and standardized information sharing across administrations.
The framework aligns with Algeria’s ongoing investments in digital infrastructure, including the commissioning of five regional data centers designed to host and secure public information. These investments form part of broader efforts to modernize public administration and strengthen the foundations of the country’s digital economy.
