Algerian international youth engagement

Overview

Algeria has engaged in international youth diplomacy through participation in major festivals. In September 2026, Algerian Youth and Sports Minister Moustafa Hidaoui attended the International Youth Festival in Yekaterinburg, Russia, where he presented a national strategy focused on entrepreneurship, innovation, and volunteerism, describing youth as “essential partners in national development.”

Following this, Algeria announced its participation in Chad’s 27th National Youth Festival, scheduled for October 2026 in Pala, to strengthen bilateral ties and foster intercultural dialogue.

The festival in Pala proceeded with programs centered on youth empowerment and socioeconomic integration. During panel discussions at the Nicodème Cultural Center, leaders addressed public policies regarding professional training and the agricultural sector. Abakar Dangaya, president of the National Youth Council of Chad, called for increased transparency, noting that corruption hinders the allocation of funds to youth projects.

Other festival initiatives included training for over 100 young women in local food product processing to foster financial autonomy. Sola Ndilnodji, Secretary General of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, stated that empowering women and girls is a priority for national development. The event also featured an intergenerational dialogue session titled ‘Around the Fire,’ where Minister of Youth and Sports Nair Abakar participated in discussions regarding the transmission of cultural values.
