Participation as a Mechanism for Activating Development in Algeria: A Study of Civil Society

Abstract

This study examines the role of civil society in promoting development in Algeria by evaluating the effectiveness of the legal mechanisms available to it. It also explores the extent to which civil society engages in the implementation of public policies aimed at fostering development. The findings reveal that civil society's contribution to advancing Algeria's development remains constrained by numerous obstacles and challenges. Foremost among these are the lack of sufficient legal safeguards and an increasing societal distrust in civil society as a reliable partner. Overcoming these issues is crucial for enhancing both the traditional and modern roles of civil society organizations in Algeria.
