"The Association Agreement currently under negotiation with Algeria sets out among the priorities in the social and cultural field the promotion of the role of women in economic and social development and the improvement of women's access to education and training. Gender questions also figure within cross-cutting priorities in the MEDA national indicative programme for Algeria. The potential impact on the situation of women is examined before a decision is taken on the financing of each programme.
Women are among the primary target groups of the assistance project for the development of NGOs. They had received about EUR 5 million under MEDA by the end of 1999. An important Social Fund programme is in the final stages of preparation. It will finance activities for poor women in rural areas through training and micro-credit schemes. For 2001 we are preparing an education and health infrastructure rehabilitation project and a vocational training reform programme. These projects will have a direct and positive effect on the living conditions and on the employment situation of women.
The programme European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights has funded several seminars and projects concerning human and economic rights of women in Algeria since 1996. In the year 2000 for example a EUR 1.4 million regional programme was launched in the three Maghreb countries. It aims to promote activities to enhance the participation of women in political and economic life."@en1
