Algeria will ban civil status documents in administrative files

Algeria’s interior minister Nourredine Badaoui Tuesday said all the ministries will be linked to a data base in order to develop service system in all the sectors.

In a meeting with local government officials in Oran, Badaoui said all the ministries will be linked to the data base by the end of November. This comes as part of the modernization of services system to reduce bureaucracy. That will allow to ban civil state documents in files.

The minister added that municipalities local income will be developed so that they would rely on their own resources. This would be done by establishing micro-industrial zones funded by interest-free loans. Of them, there will be 17 zones in Oran. A total of 50,000 small enterprises will be set up in Algeria in 2016.

The minister called on mayors to get ready for a series of procedures in terms of decentralization and the improvement of people’s daily life.

Speaking about austerity, he said it is possible to end “free beaches.”

“Municipalities can not buy tables and chairs and offer them to people for free,” he said.
