Why this matters
Algeria has not previously been mapped as a distinct NED country program in this vault, and a $15.6M active portfolio across 99 grants is a material footprint for a North African state where civil society space has been tightly constrained since the Hirak protests. Tracing the onward recipients — particularly on transitional justice and human rights — will show whether NED funds diaspora-based groups, in-country NGOs, or regional pass-throughs, and how the trail relates to the MENA Regional program.
