Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response
Government
A significant part of Algeria’s territory is exposed to earthquakes, flooding, drought, forest fires, landslides, locust infestation, and the risk of tsunamis. More than 90 per cent of the country’s population lives along a coast that accounts for only 12 per cent of the country’s landmass. Dense urban settlements coupled with migration, poverty, unemployment, and a housing crisis make most of the population vulnerable to a nexus of natural and socio-economic hazards.
In the aftermath of the 1980 El Asnam earthquake which caused 2633 deaths, 8369 injuries, 29,747 destroyed houses and made 478,949 people homeless, Algeria finalized a national construction code by 1983.The national government adopted a disaster reduction and management plan in 1985 and dedicated technical capacities for the development and dissemination of seismic knowledge, monitoring, and in-depth research by 1987.
In 2004 the country adopted the Law on Prevention of Major Risks and Disaster Management, and the National Scheme for Land Use Planning (SNAT), which was later updated in 2010 with risk-sensitive provisions for land management and urban planning. In 2004, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development also issued new seismic regulations for structures.
Since 2005the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has acted as a principal ally to improve Algeria’s institutional capacities. With the Government of Algeria, UNDP initiated a first national disaster risk management (DRM) project with a focus on developing local capacities and technical know-how for DRR across nine wilayas (districts). During this period, bilateral and regional cooperation was also initiated to further strengthen national capacities for DRR.
The Délégation nationale aux risques majeurs (National Delegation for Major Risks), appointed as of 2012, is now coordinating multiple sectors to reduce major risks across Algeria’s territory.
For more information on government contact details, please see the following link: 4.1 Government Contact List.
Humanitarian Community
For the last thirty years, the majority of Sahrawi refugees have lived spread over four camps located around Tindouf in the South-Western part of Algeria. This refugee population is dependent on international aid.
Several humanitarian agencies are present in the field to support the refugees, among them UNHCR, WFP, UNICEF, ECHO, OXFAM, Spanish Red Cross, and Comitato Internazionale per lo Sviluppo dei Popoli (CISP). The Algerian partner for these agencies is the Algerian Red Crescent.
UNHCR’s purpose is to ensure that everyone can exercise the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge from war and persecution. UNHCR also protects stateless people and pays attention to the needs of children and seeks to promote the equal rights of women and girls.
In 2019, WFP distributed almost 134,000 in-kind rations to meet the basic food and nutritional needs of food-insecure refugees.
UNICEF, in partnership with the government promotes respect for the rights of children and adolescents in Algeria.
For more information on humanitarian agency contact details, please see the following link: 4.2 Humanitarian Agency Contact List.
1.2 Algeria Regulatory Departments & Quality Control
The Algerian Centre of Quality Control and Packaging (CACQE) is a public institution placed under the supervision of the Ministry of Trade. It is created by the executive decree No. 89-147 of 8 August 1989 and amended and supplemented by the executive decree No. 03-318 of 30 September 2003.

2 Algeria Logistics Infrastructure
Algeria is almost exclusively served by foreign companies. CMA-CGM (France), Mediterranean Shipping Company (Switzerland) or Maersk (Denmark) ship up to 95% of maritime flows to and from Algeria. Customs statistics estimate that shipping costs comprise an average of 25% of the overall value of the country's imports.
There is a distance of around 2,000 kilometres between the north, where the ports and platforms for storing imported food products are concentrated, and the far south of the country. Transporting goods to the interior and the south requires a massive mobilization of transportation, and must be adept in transporting fresh produce. , Road transport predominates in the absence of a dense rail network.
The rail transport sector has expanded over the past five years. Algeria's rail network is 5,200 km long as of 2019 and certain sections have recently been electrified. The rail network is managed by the National Company for Rail Transport (SNTF in French) which has more than 200 stations covering mainly the north of the country.
Algeria has 35 airports, including 13 international ones. The most important is Algiers Airport, which handles up to 22 million passengers per year. In 2018, the airport handled more than 7 million passengers and more than 350,000 tonnes of cargo. Algiers airport is served by more than 25 airlines. Air Algérie is the national airline and it dominates the air transport market with a fleet of 57 aircraft. Tassili Airlines, another national company is also operating in the country, mostly in the interior routes.
2.1 Algeria Port Assessment
The vast majority of Algeria’s commercial trade moves through the national port network. The most significant port in terms of traffic is Arzew in Oran, which handles mostly petrochemical traffic, followed by Skikda. For container traffic, Algiers is the most important port after Arzew, handling almost 60% of the country’s container traffic. Algiers is a congested port and delays are common, as in other major Algerian ports. Congestion surcharges are regularly implemented by shipping lines. DP World (Dubai Ports World) is responsible for port operations in Algiers as well as Djen Djen.

Road Security
The road infrastructure is fairly developed although still insufficient compared to the growing number of vehicles in Algeria. Alongside, low skilled drivers and lack of mandated vehicle standards are considered to be key contributing factors to the growing incidence of road traffic crashes and resulting injuries.

2.6 Algeria Storage Assessment
According to the current operational context, all food aid, are directly transported up to the Extended delivery Point (EDP) in Rabouni near Tindouf.
Officially the warehouse/storage facility compound at Rabouni is managed by the Algerian Red Crescent (ARC), however practically; it’s managed by the Sahraoui Red Crescent (SRC) according to a bilateral agreement signed between the two parties.
The current storage facilities at Rabouni consist of the following:
- One 800 m2 warehouse built in 2004. This store is in good shape, and just recently maintenance / repairs were carried out to the doors, and also increased the ventilation in the warehouses which is mainly used for sensitive / short shelf- life commodities such as Corn Soya blend. The building has a capacity of about 1000 MT.
- Seventeen concrete open platforms, built from 2002 to 2004 (sixteen of 200 m2 and one of 240 m2). The steel framework supporting the roofs of some four of these platforms is damaged; thus, only twelve are currently covered. Repairs and maintenance are required to maximize the use of this space. The platforms suit the high temperature conditions by maximizing air circulation for sensitive food, such as the wheat flour. Total estimated capacity for these platforms is around 4250 MT.
- There are a significant number of shipping containers, many of which are not in good condition. While these are mainly used as perimeter barriers, some are also used for food storage due to insufficient storage space. Commodities can be damaged by storage in these containers due to the high temperatures. The estimated storage capacity of these containers is around 2500 MT, corresponding to about 250 containers.
- Two hard-wall (metal) hangars built in 1998, which need maintenance such as repair to a damaged entrance and of some of the zinc roofing sheets. Due to insufficient ventilation the doors to these hangars must be kept open all the times. These two hangars have an estimated capacity of 700 MT.
- One 1200 m2 warehouse, recently built in excellent condition with an estimated capacity of 1500 MT.
Based on the above, the total current storage capacity amounts
to some 9950 MT including the containers.
Although another 1000 m2 warehouse exists, this store, built by the
Spanish Cooperation, is used principally for non-food items and
other humanitarian aid rather than WFP food. As such, it is not
taken into consideration above at the time being, but can be used
during emergencies.

2.7 Algeria Milling Assessment
At the end of the 2017/2018 harvest-threshing campaign, national cereal production reached 6.05 million tons, compared to 3.47 million tons recorded during the 2015/2016 campaign. The needs are far from being met in terms of common wheat, even in favorable years, which leads to costly imports in foreign currency for the country. Algeria plans to be self-sufficient in durum wheat by 2020. In 2018, Algeria imported 8 million tons of wheat (hard and soft) with a bill of 1.92 billion dollars, including 7.9 million tons of soft wheat with a value of 1.48 billion dollars .
The capacity of milling for the wheat is more 15 million tons per year and the capacity of wheat storage is more than 31 Million tons (2018).

3 Algeria Services and Supply
Disclaimer: Registration does not imply any business relationship between the supplier and WFP / Logistics Cluster, and is used solely as a determinant of services, and capacities.
Please note: WFP / Logistics Cluster maintain complete impartiality and are not in a position to endorse, comment on any company's suitability as a reputable service provider.
Overview:
The following sections contain information on the service and supply industries of Algeria.
Algeria is a big player on the African continent, not only because of its substantial land area, but also because of its sizeable GDP. This leads to high transport volumes and an improving infrastructure. Investment in infrastructure came to a virtual standstill in Algeria between 1991 and 2001, due to civil war. This led to a significant backlog in infrastructure maintenance and improvement. Meanwhile, the country’s vast desert geography poses a permanent challenge to infrastructure developments.
In addressing these problems, the Government has made transport a priority with major upgrades and expansions in progress as part of its extensive public investment programme. Most of the population, and hence the bulk of economic activity, is located along the northern coastal strip. Road connections focus primarily on long-distance connectivity on both the east-west and north-south axis.
In addition to the four main modes of regional and international transport – air, shipping, roads and railways – pipelines are of special importance in Algeria, as they connect the Algerian oil and gas industry to Europe. The country has three transcontinental export gas pipelines; two transporting natural gas to Spain and one to Italy. The largest pipeline runs from Algeria via Tunisia to Italy. One to Spain passes through Morocco and the newest pipeline to Spain, which came online in 2011, stretches across the Mediterranean.

3.2 Algeria Transporters
Algeria has one of the densest road networks in Africa thanks to its 109,000 km of roads. Road transport is the dominant mode of transport, for both travelers and goods. In 2006, 90% of transportation was by road. Responsibility for the construction of highways is devolved to the National Highway Agency (ANA).
The East-West motorway constitutes a major 1,216 km long axis, the construction of which is still underway on certain sections. The construction of the first sections began in the 1990s thanks to loans granted for the development of the country.
The construction of the highland’s highway (over 10,000 km of road) should have started in 2012 but did not actually start until 2014. The trans-Saharan road crosses the country of Algiers to the Niger border with a coating rate close to 100%.

3.5 Algeria Food and Additional Suppliers
Agro-industry is a technically based concept that encompasses the processing sectors of agricultural raw materials, in the broad sense. In this acceptance, it includes several highly heterogeneous manufacturing sectors, some of which, by far the most important, concern food products. Agri-food is the concept that applies to the sectors relating to food products, the most important of which in Algeria remain the cereals, milk and dairy products, beverages, meats, preserves, oils and oilseeds, sugar. The Agro Food Industries (AFI) in Algeria experienced their great boom in the 1970s with development programs notably by the creation of a fleet of national companies for the main sectors.
The agri-food sector has a total of 1.6 million people, or 23% of the working population, in 23,000 companies, including 300 public companies.

Taxi Companies
Taxis around cities are moderately priced, at around DZD 35 per kilometre travelled. Taxis between cities or across large distances either cost the same or are more expensive than flying. Most taxis don't come with a meter, meaning prices per kilometre must be agreed prior to travel. There are numerous taxi companies throughout Algeria. Auto Go (+213-02-127-8438) is based in Algiers along with many other official services like Taxi Haned Ammar and Algiers Taxi. Kheiro (+213-77-556-3067) which is placed in Tlemcen.

Electricity and Power
According to the 2013 BP Statistical Energy Survey, Algeria had 2012 electricity production of 57.39 Terawatt-hours, a change of 10% from 2011 and equivalent to 0.25% of the world total.
Algeria has over 140,000 miles of power lines, serving almost the entire population. There are plans to increase the size of the network by 5% in coming years in order to reach isolated rural communities and hydrocarbon developments in the Sahara Desert. As mentioned above, Algeria does export some electricity to its neighbours, and there are plans to export electricity to Europe. Algeria has proposed undersea power connections to Italy and Spain, likely to run in conjunction with natural gas pipelines. However, Algeria's ability to export electricity in the future will depend upon its ability to build enough generation capacity to meet soaring domestic demand.
State-owned Sonelgaz controls electricity generation, transmission, and distribution in Algeria. A 2002 law converted Sonelgaz into a private company and revoked its monopoly on the power sector, though the Algerian government continues to hold all of the company's shares. The 2002 law also created the Electricity and Gas Regulatory Commission (CREG) to oversee the newly-opened industry and to ensure non-discriminatory access to the sector. Algeria aims to eventually split Sonelgaz into separate generation, transmission, and distribution companies, though those plans have faced domestic opposition from organized labour. Following privatization, Sonalgaz created a joint venture with Sonatrach, the Algerian Energy Company (AEC), in order to pursue partnerships with foreign investors.
In July 2002, Sonatrach and Sonelgaz formed a joint venture, New Energy Algeria (NEAL), to pursue the development of alternative electricity sources, including solar, wind, and biomass. One project reportedly under consideration is a 120-megawatt (MW), hybrid gas/solar power plant near Timimoun. In January 2003, Algeria and the International Energy Agency agreed on technological cooperation in developing solar power. Overall, Algeria hopes to increase the share of solar in the country's electricity mix to 5% by 2010.
Natural gas is the largest source of Algeria's electricity generation. Since the opening of the sector in 2002, there has been considerable private investment in new electricity generating capacity. Algerian law requires that all foreign operators establish joint ventures with AEC, and in return, AEC guarantees that it will purchase all electricity generated by these plants. AEC contracted with Anadarko and General Electric to build the country's first privately-financed, gas-fired power plant at Hassi Berkine. In August 2003, France's Alstom agreed to construct a 300-MW power plant at F'Kirina, some 300 miles east of Algiers. Canada's SNC-Lavalin won a contract in July 2003 to design and build an 825-MW, combined cycle power plant in Skikda, expected to come online in the third quarter of 2005. In 2004, SNC-Lavalin also won a tender to build a 1,200-MW, combined cycle power plant in Tipasa, west of Algiers. In early 2005, Siemens announced that it would build a 500-MW, gas-fired plant in Berrouaghia
In general power supply in the main towns is reliable. Average disruption of electricity supply in Tindouf can be estimated at around 2/3 hours per week with some 1 to 2 cuts per week with a possibility of increase at summer time. The main problem though at Tindouf is the instability of the voltage/current; accordingly voltage stabilizers are required there, which is not the case at Algiers. Generator (40 KVA) was recently installed at Tindouf sub-office.
Waste Management and Disposal Providers
Solid waste generation in Algeria
In this paper, classifications of solid wastes have been proposed according to its origin into three types: municipal solid waste (MSW), industrial solid waste (ISW), and healthcare solid waste (HW).
According to the National Cadastre for Generation of Solid Waste in Algeria, the quantity of MSW generated in Algeria is estimated at 10.3 million tons/year (household and similar waste). The overall generation of ISW, including non-hazardous and inert industrial waste, is 2,547,000 tons/year with a stock quantity of 4,483,500 tons. The hazardous waste generated amounts to 325,100 tons/year. The quantities of waste in stock and awaiting a disposal solution amount to 2,008,500 tons. Healthcare waste reaches to 125,000 tons/year according to the same source.
Municipal solid waste
MSW is generally defined as waste collected by municipalities or other local authorities. It includes mainly household (domestic waste), commercial, and institutional wastes (generated from shops and institutions). These wastes are generally in solid or semi-solid form. It can be classified as biodegradable waste that includes food and kitchen waste, green waste, and paper (can also be recycled); recyclable materials such as paper, glass, bottles, cans, metals, certain plastics, etc.; inert waste such as construction and demolition wastes, dirt, rocks, and debris; composite waste which includes waste clothing, tetra packs, and waste plastics such as toys; domestic hazardous waste (also called ‘household hazardous waste’); and toxic waste like medication, e-waste, paints, chemicals, light bulbs, fluorescent tubes, spray cans, fertilizer and pesticide containers, batteries, and shoe polish.
According to the National Waste Agency (AND), Algeria produces 10.3 million tons of MSW each year or 28,219 tons per day, with a collection coverage of 85% in urban areas and 60% in rural areas, and a rate of 0.9 kg/inhabitant/day for urban zones and 0.6 kg/inhabitant/day for rural zones. In the capital (Algiers), the production is close to 1.2 kg/inhabitant/day
The composition of MSW is closely related to the level of economic development and lifestyle of the residents. In different districts of the same city, the composition of MSW will be different. In general, the composition of MSW in Algeria with six major categories of waste was identified: organic matter, paper-cardboard, plastics, glass, metals, and others
Organic matter was the predominant category and represented 62% of waste collected. The other categories were represented as follows: paper-cardboard (9%), plastic (12%), glass (1%), metals (2%), and others (14%) Demolition and construction wastes were not taken into account because they are disposed in uncontrolled open-air sites. The high consumption of fruits and vegetables by the city’s inhabitants could explain the preponderance of organic matter in Algeria’s waste.
Industrial solid waste
According to the National Cadastre for Industrial and Special Wastes prepared in 2007, the overall generation of industrial waste, including non-hazardous and inert industrial waste, is 2,547,000 tons per year with a stock quantity of 4,483,500 tons. This type of waste is generated from the following:
- Steel, metallurgical, mechanical, and electrical industries, which are the predominant sectors (50%);
- Building materials, ceramics, and glass industries (50%);
- Chemicals, rubber, and plastic industries (2%);
- Food processing, tobacco, and match industries (29%);
- Textiles, hosiery, and confection industries (10%);
- Leather and shoes industries (1%); and wood, paper, printing industries (3%).
The hazardous waste which includes waste oil, waste solvents, ash, cinder, and other wastes with hazardous nature (such as flammability, explosiveness, and causticity) generated amounts to 325,100 tons/year. The quantities of waste in stock and awaiting a disposal solution amount to 2,008,500 tons, which are generated by four principal sectors: hydrocarbons (34%), chemistry, rubber and plastic (23%), metallurgy (16%), and mines (13%). Compared to textile (4%) as well as paper and cellulose cement and drifts, food and mechanics produce less than 2%.
The eastern regions hold the palm for the production of ISW in Algeria, with the wilayas of Annaba and Skikda which are characterized by a high proportion of waste generated and in stock (the petrochemical, transportation, and hydrocarbons industries of these regions). The western region is in the second position, because the industrial area of Arzew is the largest generator of waste with 65,760 T/year only for its refinery, followed by the industrial area of Ghazaouet with 18,500 T/year. The central region is characterized by the high production of lead waste (manufacture of battery and refinery)
Healthcare waste
These wastes include materials like plastic syringes, animal tissues, bandages, cloths, etc. This type of waste results from the treatment, diagnosis, or immunization of humans and/or animals at hospitals, veterinary and health-related research facilities, and medical laboratories. HW contains infectious waste, toxic chemicals, and heavy metals, and may contain substances that are geno-toxic or radioactive. HW reach 125,000 tons/year, of which 53.6% is general waste, 17.6% is infectious waste, 23.2% is toxic waste, and 5.6% is special waste, with waste generation rate 0.7 to 1.22 kg/bed/day, in which 75% to 90% is non-clinical waste and 10% to 25% is clinical waste
Waste management situation in Algeria
During the past decades, environmentally sound waste management was recognized by most countries as an issue of major concern. Waste management is an important factor in ensuring both human health and environmental protection
Policy and planning: The Ministry of Land Planning and the Environment (MATE) is primarily responsible for national policy environment.
Implementation and operation: AND has the mission to support the local communities in SWM and to promote activities linked to integrated waste management.
Practice of waste management:
1. Municipalities are fully responsibility for the management and control of municipal solid waste.
2. The Ministry of the Interior and Local Communities is for financial and logistical support to the municipalities.
Control and regulatory implementation: The Directorate of Environment of each wilaya (governorate) controls and regulates the implementation of the management services.
Staff training: The National Conservatory for Environmental Training does the staff training.
Policy and planning
Municipal Solid Waste Management National Program (PROGDEM): Launched in 2001, it has already made the development of many SWM projects (municipality master schemes, landfills, etc.) possible.
Industrial and Special Waste Management National Program: This program aims at the control and disposal of special industrial waste and potentially infectious healthcare waste.
Solid waste management
In general, elimination is the solution applied to 97% of waste produced in Algeria. Wastes are disposed in open dumps (57%), burned in the open air in public dumps or municipal uncontrolled ones (30%), and controlled dumps and landfill (10%) insuring both human health and environmental protection. on the other side, the quantities destined for recovery are too low: only 2% for recycling and 1% for composting
Open dump mode: In Algeria, the elimination of household and similar wastes through the implementation of open and uncontrolled dumps is the most common mode used, with a rate of 87%. According to an investigation by the Office of Ministry of Land Planning and the Environment, over 3,130 open dumps have been identified in the country with an area of approximately 4,552.5 ha. The majority of these dumps are characterized by almost similar geographical locations. They are located along rivers, roads or agriculture lands. The other common point is that most of these dumps are almost saturated and cannot practically receive waste.
