Territorialized, multidisciplinary service delivery through solidarity proximity cells
Objective
To ensure that integrated public services reach vulnerable populations at the local level, including in remote areas.
Overview
The Solidarity Proximity Cells of Algeria constitute a promising good practice in implementing the principle of “leaving no one behind”. Led by the Social Development Agency, these multidisciplinary teams provide integrated support to vulnerable households, particularly in remote areas. By combining health, social assistance, education, access to rights and economic integration support, the cells bring public services closer to communities and address multiple dimensions of vulnerability through a coordinated approach.
Challenges
Implementation challenges have highlighted the need to further develop this practice by:
• Strengthening inter-institutional coordination, sustainable local financing, systematic monitoring of beneficiary outcomes and the dissemination of lessons learned across wilayas.
• Maintaining sufficient multidisciplinary staff and resources in remote areas.
• Ensuring consistent service quality and continuity across different territories.
• Strengthening referrals and information-sharing among participating institutions.
