Promoting Algeria's integration into global value chains through regional value chains- Opportunities and challenges for activity in (AFCFTA)

Abstract

In our research, we address the issue of enhancing Algeria's positive participation in global value chains through the regional chains  expected to be formed within the AfCFTA area, within the framework of economic integration relations and value chain building. We aim  to explore the opportunities available for Algeria's activity in this region, which has been based on exporting energy and oil resources as  raw materials for decades, making this participation ineffective. This led the Algerian government since 2020 to adopt a program based  on a strategy to diversify exports outside the hydrocarbon sector. By applying the exploratory descriptive case study approach, and the  network survey of various research, studies, and reports prepared by specialized international organizations, we reached the most  important results: the existence of 03 value chains among 94 promising and possible value chains at the continental level, Algeria can  participate in them, within its activity in the AfCFTA area, and achieve its developmental goals under the adopted economic recovery  program.
