Deadline: 15-Jul-25
The European Commission is accepting grant proposals for strengthening of the Algerian Investment Promotion Agency.
Objectives
The general objective of the twinning project is to strengthen the competitiveness of the Algerian economy.
The specific objective of the twinning project is to improve the effectiveness of the AAPI’s investment promotion activities.
Contribution to the national strategy and Algeria-EU relations:
Contribution to the national strategy for economic diversification: The support project for the AAPI fully aligns with the Algerian’s national strategy for economic diversification and the promotion of non-hydrocarbon exports, as supported by the Government’s Action Plan for the implementation of the President of the Republic’s programme.
Goals
This twinning project directly contributes to several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs):
SDG 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth: By strengthening the AAPI’s capacity to attract investments, the project supports sustainable economic growth in Algeria, including job creation and the improvement of working conditions.
SDG 9 Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure: The project is directly linked to this goal and contributes to the improvement of infrastructure essential for industrial development and innovation.
Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions: The development of the AAPI’s institutional capacities will help enhance governance and the management of activities related to the entire investment process.
Funding Information
The maximum available budget for the grant is: 250, 000 EUR.
The execution period is eight (8) months.
Expected Outputs
Output 1: Promotional tools and techniques are mastered This will aim to develop a dynamic and updatable value proposition based on the investment strategy, improve and modernise existing promotional tools, and develop a framework for planning and monitoring promotional activities.
Output 2: Investor targeting is improved Based on the analysis of investor targeting methods, new techniques will be developed. Similarly, the preparation, execution, and follow-up of promotional events will be improved to maximise the potential impact, both for events organised by the AAPI and for those in which it participates.
Output 3: Data exploitation in evaluation, reporting and studies is enhanced This will aim to enhance the impact of promotional events, notably through methods of analysing event data, such as the number of leads generated and return on investment, as well as by deepening the analysis of investor feedback. Similarly, the use of statistical and monitoring data will be enhanced by the automation of data collection and processing, as well as the production of analysis notes and reports using business intelligence tools.
Eligibility Criteria
