Lived Experiences Of Project Holders In The Nesda Mechanism: An Exploration Of Systemic Obstacles And Improvement Avenues
Authors : Belloula Mohamed Akram . Kharouby Mourad .
Abstract
This study investigates the lived experiences of project holders within Algeria’s NESDA entrepreneurship support mechanism, focusing on systemic obstacles and potential improvements. Based on 21 semi-structured interviews conducted across three contrasting regions, it identifies key barriers: strict eligibility requirements excluding non-graduates, administrative delays (1–2 months), impractical training schedules, financial constraints (e.g., 5% personal contribution), and supplier inefficiencies. While 85.7% of participants see NESDA as a tool to reduce inequality, 14.3% believe it widens disparities. Recommendations include assessing practical skills for eligibility, digitizing processes, easing financial criteria, and regulating suppliers to improve equity and efficiency.
