Authors : Khalil Salem . Djeldjel Hanane .

Abstract

In our article, we will deal with the management of public water services and its impact on the modernization and the various organizational changes that they have undergone in Algeria. To do this, we will first discuss the theoretical elements of Public Private Partnership, then we will present the three regional water production and distribution companies through a qualitative study, namely SEOR, SEAAL, SEACO and finally the main results after surveys conducted on the contribution of the new management introduced by the practice of Public Private Partnership in the water sector in Algeria. The qualitative study revealed classical professional constraints such as: training, motivation, innovation, mobility, resistance to change and often conflicting relations with the foreign partner.
