Algeria and Chad implement new agricultural and administrative reforms

Algeria has officially established the National Council for Agricultural Mechanization through executive decree n° 26-296. Operating under the authority of the Prime Minister or Head of Government, the council is tasked with proposing a national strategy and roadmap to coordinate agricultural mechanization policies. Key objectives include improving farm productivity, facilitating access to modern equipment, and supporting agricultural cooperatives. The council will also focus on smart mechanization, precision agriculture, and the local manufacturing of equipment adapted to Algerian climatic conditions.

In Chad, a presidential decree has announced key leadership appointments for several public entities.
