Abstract

The study examines the role of the National Plan for Territorial Development 2030 in the development of border areas in Algeria, It aims to highlight the programmes, initiatives and bodies adopted by the Algerian state within the framework of this plan in order to break the isolation of border areas. We conclude that the National Plan for Territorial Development is the backbone and main instrument of the development policy of the border regions; aiming to remedy the developmental lag suffered by the border regions compared to the rest of the country, protect national security and territorial integrity. Therefore, the National Plan for Territorial Development 2030 has contributed relatively to the development of the border regions, However, it faces challenges, difficulties and issues, most notably: illegal migration and illegal Cross-Border refugees; terrorist groups, smuggling gangs, organised crime and cross-border arms trade, Lack of financial and human resources, corruption and administrative bureaucracy.
