GEN Algeria

GEN organized Algeria’s first Global Entrepreneurship Week campaign in 2011. Led by Fatiha Rachedi, the campaign was supported by the North African Partnership for Economic Opportunity (NAPEO), a U.S. government initiative. Thanks to the mobilization of GEW partners, which included the main actors of the ecosystem as well as significant government institutions such as the Ministry of Industry and Mines and the Ministry of Labour, GEW helped initiate the entrepreneurial movement in Algeria. In 2013, GEW in Algeria became a national movement when it reached 48 wilayas. The next year, the team organized the largest number of activities in the world.
