Five-Year Plan 1980-1984
The five-year plan 1980-1984, adopted by the extraordinary congress of the National Liberation Front Party on June 17, 18 and 19, 1980, today constitutes the framework and instrument for the implementation of a new phase of the national development process.
Developed democratically and in light of the objective evaluation of the efforts accomplished over the past decade, the five-year plan is part of a broader dynamic, having as its main objective the satisfaction of the social and collective needs of the nation.
With a total budget of 400 billion dinars, the national plan emphasizes programs linked to the scale and evolution of social demand by allocating considerable resources to sensitive sectors of our country such as housing, education, health, hydraulics, agriculture and industrial development.
The plan also aims to base our development on national resources and potential which establish, through the content and means of planning, rigorous management. Also, the creation of 900,000 new jobs will make it possible to expand our productive capacities and integrate young citizens into the working life during the five-year period.
This effort will be accompanied by an alignment between our training system and the structures of our production apparatus. Programs dedicated to teaching, education and professional training represent an important part of the plan and are the logical extension of all our investments. In order to bring together the conditions necessary for the well-being of each Algerian, the national plan devotes almost half of its investments to housing, which thus occupies a special place and will have to create 1,200,000 housing units by 1990, almost half of which will have to be ready by 1984.
In addition, in order to ensure our food self-sufficiency, the development of the agricultural and hydraulic sectors is an essential priority of the five-year plan. Water, an essential factor in resolving social and economic problems, will lead the hydraulic sector to increase its study and implementation capacities to meet the growing needs of agriculture (irrigation of 20,000 ha of new land per year by 1990), drinking water supply and industrial structures.
With regard to industrial development, the five-year plan favors processing industries and intermediate consumer goods according to economic integration objectives, relying more on a national technical and scientific potential capable of ensuring mastery of modern techniques and improving the performance of our productive apparatus.
The rational and judicious exploitation of all our human and material resources, as well as a balanced distribution of activities and people have imposed on the five-year plan a political consideration of territorial planning whose objective remains centered on the creation of an economic and social fabric favoring the emergence of new development zones, in particular on the belt of the High Plateaux.
As such, the transport, telecommunications, health and training infrastructure will support effective decentralization and dynamic and balanced development of our vast national territory. It is certain that the new decade which is opening, and of which the five-year plan constitutes a decisive stage, will make it possible to deepen and broaden the bases of our economy and will thereby concretize the ultimate and sole purpose of our development which is and will remain the promotion and development of the Algerian citizen.
