DIGITAL ALGERIA 2030: AN ANALYSIS OF THE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION STRATEGY

Fayrouz Slaimi, Asma Ouennas

Abstract


The present study analyzes the Algeria Digital 2030 strategy by situating it within the dual context of organizational digital transformation and the evolution of Algerian public policies. It first defines digital transformation as a process of reconfiguring organizational models, information systems, and competencies. Then, it traces the gradual development of the digital economy in Algeria, from the liberalization of telecommunications to the launch of the National Digital Transformation Strategy 2025–2030. The study then outlines the strategy’s objectives and pillars, emphasizing infrastructure modernization, improved public services, a competitive digital economy, and a strengthened legal and cybersecurity framework. It presents the Algeria Digital 2030 vision through five structural axes (ICT infrastructure, human capital, digital governance, digital economy, and digital society) and two cross-cutting foundations (regulatory framework and information system security), accompanied by ambitious quantitative targets. Finally, the study discusses the challenges, issues, and prospects of this transformation, emphasizing both its strategic role in national sovereignty, state modernization, and economic diversification, as well as the persistent constraints related to territorial disparities in access, skills deficits, digital governance, and citizens’ adoption of online services.
