356. It is based on the spiritual values and civilization of the nation and derives its references from our regional and international commitments including the Action Plan for the African Family (African Union - Cotonou - July 2004). 357. The expected outcome of this strategy: - Define the prospects for the Algerian family by 2015. - Deepen the brainstorming on the guidelines and specificities of relationships and behaviours within the family; - Draw up the list of constraints that could limit the effectiveness of the contribution of the family to development; - Identify areas of intervention of all the partners operating within the framework of the National Family Strategy. 358. The strategic areas of the SNAFAM include the following: - Protection and strengthening of family bonds and consolidation of its roles; - Strengthening of the values of solidarity and mobilization of stakeholders; - Strengthening the rights and services for the benefit of persons with specific needs; - Promotion of access by families to Information and Communication Technology. 359. The National Family Strategy will be jointly implemented by the various sectors of activities, national institutions and civil society which will apportion the roles and responsibilities in accordance with the duties assigned to every operator and an evaluation report will be presented annually to the Government. Women and children enjoy special attention and equal treatment at all levels. 360. Thus, to strengthen the presence of women in the political sphere, an organic law on broadening women’s participation in the elected assemblies established for the very first time a quota system which varies between 30 and 50% and includes Algerian women in the Diaspora. 361.

It also includes the media, environment, decision-making and women in difficult situations). As a matter of national priority, the Gender Mainstreaming and Promotion Strategy and its operational plans address all the 10 areas contained in the African Women’s Decade. 362. Still within the African context, on the occasion of a training on the political role of Algerian women, the public authorities embarked on the national launch of the African Women’s Decade 2010-2020, adopted at the 15th Ordinary Summit of Heads of State and Government of the African Union held in July 2010 in Kampala-Uganda. Algeria is ensuring the implementation of the 2008-2015 National Action Plan for Children (PNA), with the participation of representatives of national institutions, NGOs, children and adolescent boys and girls among whom are those with specific needs. 363. Consolidated by a communication plan intended to increase awareness and support stakeholders in the area of promoting and protecting the rights of children, families and education and health professionals, the PNA falls within the framework of a government plan inspired by multi-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder national programmes and by its regional and international commitments mainly laid down in the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. 60
