Blanche Algérie to create jobs for young workers
2006-03-10
The Blanche Algérie environmental protection project and the creation of jobs to benefit young unemployed workers was launched Monday (6 March) in Algiers and Médéa. The programme, budgeted at 400m dinars, consists of cleaning up and enhancing the appearance of districts by organising collection, transport, sorting and recycling of domestic and industrial waste.

 [File] Rahmani launched the project with Abbas and Kablia |
The launch of the Blanche Algérie project was presided over by Chérif Rahmani, Minister for Rural Development and the Environment; Djamel Ould Abbas, Minister for Employment and National Solidarity; and Dahou Ould Kablia, Minister of Local Authorities.
The project's aim is to contribute to the creation of jobs for young unemployed workers and to create a cleaner environment through local action by young people's enterprises.
Abbas said that one of the principal thrusts of the project was "the cleansing and enhancement of the appearance of districts, the organisation of awareness-raising campaigns involving civil society and launching campaigns to collect refuse".
The project also hopes to protect citizens from illness arising from the deterioration of the living environment by getting them to take responsibility for the urban areas and to feel that they belong to a wider environment.
The initiative is also intended to "encourage the development of a culture for a better life space, the preservation of green spaces and the protection of urban areas from possible environmental problems".
Several activities form a part of this project
Several activities form a part of this project -- including the collection, transport, sorting and recycling of various components of domestic and industrial waste.
Blanche Algérie also has the ambition of intervening in gaps in waste water treatment and the cleaning of gutters as well as the construction of public toilets in large settlements, strengthening maintenance arrangements for electricity and gas supplies, maintaining and cleaning buildings and apartment blocks, and creating security guard services for apartment blocks, public spaces and green spaces.
The sectors of rural development and the environment and employment and national solidarity signed a partnership agreement last October to set up the project, with a view to creating jobs to benefit the unemployed.
To finalise the project, the Employment and National Solidarity Ministry devoted a budget of 40m dinars over three months, to make 50,000 new jobs available. The budget will allow the creation of micro-enterprises for sorting and treating refuse, selling cleaning and repair products, producing and maintaining green spaces and promoting public spaces.

This is a great project that deserves care and periodic follow-up.

Go and lie somewhere else, you liars, we hate you.

Blanche Algérie is an interesting project, but it lacks a certain fairness: the poor youth are obliged to work as artisans too in order to pay their taxes even though they only get to work 3 months out of the year, 9 for the luckiest of them. The state needs to re-evaluate what it wants out of this project, to create jobs or to give people peace of mind.

Hello, I have two questions about the Blanch Algérie project. First, is this project tax exempt, and if not, what are the taxes that we would pay? Second, why is the payment for work so unaccommodating? (It takes over three months.) -Thank you

Young people have uncovered you and hate you. There is no more life with you. You don’t know the value of the people who die at night and die in the sea and you are sitting, stumbling, stumbling and you’re still stumbling... May God guide you...

I am one of the owners of the Blanche Algérie project, but we haven’t been paid our wages for over three months.
حميد نميري Posted 2008-03-23
I am one of those who benefited from the Blanche Algérie project for nine months. But since then we haven’t received any work. The administration directs us to enter bids with major contractors, but we are powerless. We have a diploma of qualification and can recruit more than ten workers. Please take this issue into consideration.

Peace, mercy and blessings of God upon you… Young people can’t find anything to do… Illegal immigration is the only solution in the country of black gold and 200 billion dollars in the treasury… God will assist us… May God guide you liars… A citizen from the black Algeria.

I am one of the people who benefited from the project. I signed one contract in the framework of three contracts and despite this I was stopped by the president of the district for unknown reasons. I don’t know whether we are in an Algeria of dignity and pride, or humiliation and disgrace.

I am an Algerian youth from Khenchela Wilaya, Chechar circle. I am a young man. I have been working for Blanche Algerie for a few months, I haven’t completed nine months but the presidents of municipalities retaliate against workers for no reason. So how can we obey our rulers when they retaliate against the people?
خليل.ع Posted 2008-05-11
I have benefited from this article. Honestly, it is a great idea and accessible to unemployed youths. But there are problems that hinder the process of this project from the presidents of districts and municipalities. For example, I am from the municipality of Ouled Mimoune, Tlemcen Wilaya. My problem is that the president of the district insists on hindering the progress of the project. Where are the supervisors and monitors of this project? And since the director of social activity in the Wilaya of Tlemcen makes decisions, he doesn’t take any action? Why doesn’t he settle the matter? It has been pending for several months. I am one a beneficiary of the programme in 2006. Since then I have been suffering from exclusion and marginalization. I haven’t completed the two remaining contracts. I hope to find someone to consider and solve my problem.

I am from Ain Hejel, Wilaya of M’ssila. We haven’t received our wages for 6 months. We are suffering in the country of pride and dignity. where are the officials, Fear God!
ميهوبي عبدالقادر Posted 2008-05-26
By God. The municipality of Sidi Hijres is enduring attacks, misery and deprivation and only suicide is left. Where are the officials and where are concerned authorities? Our municipality has become destruction, ruin, deprivation and humiliation… a call from its sons. By God, where are the promises? The population hates life and left the region, what are you waiting for?

Hello, I am interested. So, how should I go about getting into the Blanche Algérie market, given I am already an owner of a registered business? Thank you
أحمد الونشريسي Posted 2008-06-05
Thank you for this coverage… In fact it is a project which deserves interest and esteem at the same time because the issue isn’t limited just to the capital but attention should also be drawn to all the regions of Algeria especially those abundant in neglected tourist and archaeological sites which bear a high potential for investment and creating many job offers besides preserving nature and preserving everything related to the distinct Algerian identity…Thank you for this dialog forum…

They are all liars, they won't win.
bouchkhi abdelkader Posted 2008-06-12
I went to three of their conventions and I worked very hard, but they do not want to sign me on; they want me to pay them money to get signed on. What can I do to avoid this problem with the authorities concerned here? There are problems in Saïda with these projects. Come take a look. The mafiosi administration is breaking the young people down. They want to imprison us all. There is a great flow of embezzlement and corruption and other things to harm Algeria. Unemployment has passed 75%. An alert sent out to the young.

Peace, mercy and blessings of God upon you: Sheikh Abdelkader, our municipality has God, Sidi Hajras is covering it with his wings.
malek Posted 2008-06-15
Hi, First I must congratulate our nation’s minister of Solidarity for having created this. Although we have a lot of problems, it is not that serious. The current problem at hand is that we were workers and now we are all unemployed. There are 384 families who are unemployed. So, I ask Mr. Djemel Ould Abasse to help us. Thank you Mr. Minister. From Bejaia, Malek Abdi
Ali- ould tyab tlemcen Posted 2008-06-16
If you want to solve this problem, you cannot do it here. Contact Algerian newspapers or even "Tout sur l'Algérie". "El-Watan" and other journals. I hope that Magharebia will allow me to offer this help to these young people. Thank you in advance
عادل بن رقطة Posted 2008-06-28
Mr El Hachmi and Sheikh Abdelkader, the solution is clear. It is travel and running away to the unknown.

Well, honestly, there is nothing to say about the wage prices for jobs.

I am a young girl. I am 23. I am a university graduate. I have a bachelor degree in business sciences, finance. I am looking for a job.

These are just shoddy environmental projects. Algeria’s cities are always dirty and are in a hygienically appalling state. This money is going to go to their girl and guy-friends. The thieves at the APC and DAS are telling the young recruits that they have no money to pay them with and that it is Algeria’s fault and not theirs. They come on down and recruit the young people who do not need to work because they come from affluent backgrounds and they split the modest salary between them. May the people in charge be vigilant and stop these thieves from stealing even more.

By God, this is just a new attempt to rob people. In our municipality they carried out things secretly. We haven’t heard about the programme of Blanche Algerie and we are university graduates. El Mir and his friends have chosen the sons of their friends and gave them the project so that they will benefit alone. God is better. By God, may they all die of cancer and diabetes. Their money can’t heal them because it is illegal money taken from the poor people. Despite all this, we will stay here. We won’t immigrate illegally abroad like they want, sons of dogs…

Salam alikum. I am a citizen from Ain Hajl, Wilaya of Mssila. We, young people, suffer in this life as a result of the absence of interest and care by the officials. Is there a reply?
دمرجي بومدين Posted 2008-08-26
Salam alikum my brothers. By God we are suffering from the project of Algerie Blanche in all respects financially and psychologically. Fear God, officials. You will be asked about everything by God the Almighty. Give us our rights, may God guide you.
عبد العزيز محمد Posted 2008-10-16
Algeria is white with the authors of this idea. Go ahead. May God grant you success.
nounou Posted 2008-10-22
Ahhh! It is poor Algeria versus rich Algeria. Those who have money serve him and the poor they kill. The wilaya of Tipaza is in complete anarchy. What is this with there being no money!? Surrounded by projects, the money's all gone.
el-watani Posted 27 days ago
To the Minister of Environmental Affairs or, rather, to the Cement manufacturing plant in Meftah, which killed and still continues to kill our poor citizens and poison our agriculture, livestock, bees and children’s lungs- Gentlemen, what sort of minister is this!? I do not know whether we are to laugh at this huge, potbellied oddball or cry for our dear country, which, as was said by Darwish, the virgin of destiny is the most sacred thing in the eyes and hearts of all of us.

Magharebia, hello. I think that this forum is managed by the political police. But, like the other said, this is was a period of our glorious past when journalists held as slogan revolution, its protection and promotion. But today, you eat the product and insult the people. May God curse you.
