• Algeria is advancing its National Digital Transformation Strategy 2025-2030 and is recruiting a national expert to help implement key reforms.

Algeria is moving forward with its National Digital Transformation Strategy 2025-2030 and is seeking to strengthen the expertise supporting the initiative. In this context, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has launched a call for applications to recruit a national digital transformation expert who will also coordinate a support team tasked with assisting the implementation of ongoing reforms.

The selected consultant will support the High Commission for Digitalization (HCN) in operationalizing the National Digital Transformation Strategy. The expert will coordinate the work of mobilized specialists, support the development of priority action plans, monitor digital projects and establish management and evaluation tools designed to measure implementation progress.

Moreover, the assignment forms part of a joint project between the UNDP and the HCN aimed at accelerating the execution of Algeria’s digital transformation roadmap. The recruitment comes as Algeria seeks to translate its National Digital Transformation Strategy 2025-2030 into concrete actions.

The strategy aims to modernize public administration, improve citizen services, strengthen digital governance and expand the digital economy. To support these objectives, Algerian authorities have launched several hundred digitalization projects across government agencies and public service institutions. Consequently, authorities require specialized expertise to coordinate implementation efforts, ensure project alignment and strengthen oversight mechanisms.

The mission will run for eight months, from July 2026 to March 2027, and will cover a total of 70 working days. Interested candidates may submit applications until June 24 through the UNDP Quantum supplier portal: https://supplier.quantum.partneragencies.org/.
