Challenges

The lack of clearly defined institutional coordination mechanisms for DRM at the national and sectoral level, coupled with weak local implementation and regulatory capacities, has made it difficult for codes and standards to be enforced.

The 2004 law requires municipalities to have specific disaster management responsibilities. However, resources and capacities at the municipality level remain limited. additional support is required to empower municipalities to undertake effective DRM actions, through the provision of adequate budgets and capacities.

Even though the DRM Agenda of Algeria showed a strong will to deal with disasters, there much remains to be done on Algeria’s path to reducing vulnerabilities and building greater disaster resilience.

The civil society sector remains weakly engaged.
