This document presents the concluding observations of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women on the third and fourth periodic report of Algeria. The Committee welcomes the consolidated reports by the State party, which was detailed and generally complied with the Committee’s guidelines for the preparation of reports, albeit it lacked some specific sex disaggregated data. The Committee notes a participatory process in the preparation of the report, coordinated by the inter-ministerial working group and involving various ministries and national and local associations active in the field of human rights. However, there was neither any indication of whether or not the draft report was submitted to the Parliament nor any indication of whether or not there was any input by non-governmental organizations, despite the recommendation in this regard in the Committee’s previous concluding observations.
