Abstract
The main purpose of this chapter is to scrutinize the role of civil society in curbing corruption in Algeria. This chapter argues that the active engagement of civil society actors in the fight against corruption is likely to promote a better balance between prevention and enforcement measures in addressing the ill-effects of corruption. Moreover, effective and engaged civil society is key to the realization of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for sustainable development SDGs. The conclusions drawn from this chapter will generate valuable insights into the issues of anti-corruption and civil society involvement in sustainable development in Algeria and other countries of similar social and cultural settings. Also, the chapter attempts to draw the attention of researchers, policy-makers, and anti-corruption professionals to the significant role of civil society in the collective efforts of combating corruption and strengthening institutional accountability in the country.
