Algeria plays a key role as a country of origin, transit, and destination of migration. Algeria is an important destination for sub-Saharan migrants, with some settling and others transiting.
The EU’s financial support for programmes covering Algeria is primarily channelled through international partners rather than directly to the Algerian government.
The EU continues to advocate for stronger cooperation on migration issues, including on effective readmission of Algerian nationals to all EU Member States, as well as broader migration and security matters.
To address migratory pressures on the EU, the Commission is committed to deepening cooperation in a comprehensive way with Algeria through political dialogue and development cooperation.
This includes reinforcing existing support for the voluntary return of sub-Saharan migrants from Algeria to their countries of origin, as well as further engaging Algeria on migration and security, such as border management, anti-smuggling and the readmission of Algerian nationals from the EU.
