Summary of People's Democratic Republic of Algeria: A Public Expenditure Review (Volume II: Annexes and Statistical Annex)

Core Content

This document is part of the Public Expenditure Review (PER) for the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria, focusing on the PCSC (Programme Complémentaire de Soutien à la Croissance) and its investment execution assumptions for the period 2005–2007. It also includes annexes that cover various sectors such as Water, Transport, Education, and Health, along with acronyms, currency equivalents, and fiscal and statistical information.

Main Sectors and Their Execution Assumptions

1. Water Sector

• Disbursement rates: 12%, 25%, and 32% for 2005, 2006, and 2007 respectively.
• Cumulative execution rate: 21% over 2005–2007.
• Historical average: 52%.
• Key projects:
  • Construction of 4 dams (O.E Bouaghi, JIJEL, TEBESSA, Chlef)
  • Two transfer projects (Douéra-Mazafran-El Harrach and Boussiaba-Béni Haroun)
  • Three water supply conduit projects
  • Rehabilitation of DWS networks in 12 cities
  • Development of the Tarf plain
  • Upwelling of water from Oued Souf and Ourgla Valley
  • Studies and technical assistance for water resource management

2. Transport and Public Works

• Execution rates: 14%, 0%, and 25% for 2005, 2006, and 2007 respectively.
• Cumulative execution rate: 56%.
• Key projects:
  • National transport plan and traffic studies
  • Construction and expansion of 5 fishing ports
  • Development of bypass routes in the Algiers region
  • Maintenance of national roads and signaling
  • Rehabilitation of Trans-Saharan and North rail bypass routes
  • Electrification of North bypass route
  • Construction of new lines and branch lines in industrial zones

3. Education and Training

• Execution rates: 95% for elementary through secondary education and vocational training; 50% for higher education and scientific research.
• Cumulative execution rate: 50%.
• Key projects:
  • Educational and computer equipment procurement
  • Construction of laboratory and research center infrastructures
  • Scientific equipment procurement
  • University-related projects: student capacity, housing, and restaurant facilities

4. Health Sector

• Execution rates: 40%, 48%, and 78% for 2005, 2006, and 2007 respectively.
• Cumulative execution rate: 57%.
• Historical execution rate: 79%.
• Key projects:
  • Rehabilitation and development of sanitation networks in 12 cities
  • Construction of 6 medical hospitals and 1 psychiatric hospital
  • Development of 4 cancer centers and 5 geriatric centers
  • Rehabilitation of 11 STEPs (water treatment and purification stations)

Key Findings

• Overall Execution Rate: The weighted average execution rate for the four main sectors (Agriculture and Water Resources, Support for Productive Services, Economic and Administrative Infrastructures, and Education & Training) is 50% for the first three years of the PCSC (2005–2007), which is below the historical average of 65%.
• Discrepancy in Execution Assumptions: The execution assumptions are based on current implementation capacity and actual projects rather than historical data, which may have been inflated.
• Sectoral Challenges:
  • Water Sector: Low execution rates due to historically low implementation capacity, despite high government pressure for quick results.
  • Education Sector: High execution rates for elementary and secondary education, but lower rates for higher education due to an extremely high proposed budget compared to recent actual expenditures.
  • Health Sector: Lower execution rates due to the high budget and potential management constraints.
• Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs): The document highlights the importance of PPPs in infrastructure development, particularly in the transport and water sectors, with mentions of concessions and private sector participation.
