Algeria's Conseil national économique, social et environnemental (CNESE) held its third general assembly in Algiers, focusing on financing public services, private tutoring, and breast cancer care. The assembly, attended by several high-ranking officials and international guests, aimed to enhance public action effectiveness and citizen services. CNESE President Mohamed Boukhari emphasized that the discussed projects converge towards a common goal of improving public performance.

The first project examined the financing of public services and the efficiency of public industrial and commercial establishments. Boukhari stated that these establishments must balance public service requirements with financial sustainability and economic efficiency. The goal is to optimize resource utilization, improve governance, and achieve set results. This project was initiated by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune to address the challenges faced by public establishments.

The CNESE also investigated the growing trend of private tutoring outside official educational institutions. According to Boukhari, this phenomenon has significant implications for the education system, economy, and society. The council's approach focuses on understanding the causes, motivations, and effects of private tutoring to develop more effective solutions for children's education.

Another crucial topic discussed was the institutional synergy in breast cancer care in Algeria. Despite considerable efforts by the state, the CNESE noted room for improvement in optimizing patient care pathways, from prevention and screening to treatment and follow-up. The council emphasized the need for a more efficient and coordinated approach to address this health issue.

The CNESE developed its projects based on international comparisons and input from various stakeholders. Boukhari stressed that the council's goal goes beyond diagnosis, aiming to provide concrete recommendations and actionable plans with clear performance indicators, deadlines, and expected outcomes. The council's work is part of its mission to inform public decision-making.

The assembly was attended by several high-ranking officials, including the presidents of economic and social councils from Arab and African countries, as well as the director-general of the Arab Labor Organization. The CNESE's work is expected to contribute to the development of effective policies and strategies to address the country's challenges.

The council's recommendations and plans will be subject to follow-up and evaluation. The CNESE's efforts aim to support the government's initiatives to improve public services, education, and healthcare. The council's work reflects its commitment to promoting good governance, efficiency, and citizen well-being in Algeria.
