Algeria’s Investment Promotion Agency Launches Anti-Corruption Digital Portal

AAPI said the initiative aims to “strengthen the principles of transparency and trust” while improving the investment climate in Algeria. The Algerian Investment Promotion Agency (AAPI) has unveiled a new confidential digital portal designed to combat corruption and unethical practices in the investment sector.

According to a statement released earlier this week, the platform allows both domestic and foreign investors, as well as project holders and agency employees, to securely report any attempt at corruption, blackmail, or abuse of authority linked to investment procedures.

AAPI said the initiative aims to “strengthen the principles of transparency and trust” while improving the investment climate in Algeria. Reports submitted through the system will remain strictly confidential, with whistleblowers’ identities protected at all times. The platform requires complainants to provide basic details such as name, nationality, contact information, and professional status, alongside a description of the violation and any supporting evidence.

The agency stressed that all reported cases will be transmitted to competent authorities for review and action.

This measure comes as part of Algeria’s broader anti-corruption framework, which includes the High Authority for Transparency, Prevention and Fight Against Corruption, created under Law No. 22-08 of May 5, 2022. The High Authority is tasked with developing and overseeing the national anti-corruption strategy, promoting good governance, and safeguarding public integrity.

By introducing this reporting mechanism, AAPI seeks to create a safer, more transparent environment for investors while fostering a culture of accountability in the country’s economic landscape.
