1 National Agency of Investment Development Interview with Mr. Faouzi BenHassine, Wali of Skikda 1. Could you briefly introduce the Wilaya? First, it should be noted that the wilaya of Skikda, contains precious vestiges and monuments that testify to its economic, social and cultural past and are now part of its rich heritage. The wilaya is derived from an administrative division in 1974 and has, since June 1991, thirteen 13 daïras comprising thirty eight 38 municipalities. It is located in northeastern of Algeria on the Mediterranean Sea and occupies a strategic position on the northern coast of the Mediterranean. Its territory covers an area of 4118 km2 and is limited to: The East, by the wilaya of Annaba The West, by the wilaya of Jijel. the South-East, by the wilaya of Guelma. The South West, by the wilayas of Constantine and Mila. Its climate is Mediterranean, represented by a bioclimatic stage at the north, mild and humid with an average rainfall exceeding 1000 mm of rainfall per year, up to 2000 mm / year in El Goufi, and continental Subhumid stage at the south, with annual rainfall exceeding 600 mm.

2 Its relief is characterized by two mountain chains: a) In the North, a Coast chain is interrupted by three main valleys drained by three main wadis of the same name: - Guebli, at the west, shall arise at the foot of djebels Sid Driss and Ayata, flows into basins of Sidi Mezghiche, Oum Toub, Tamalous and the plain of Collo where the Guebli river falls into the Mediterranean Sea. - Saf Saf, at the center, rises at the south of the Numidian chain (Jebel Ouahch) falls into the basin of El Harrouche, of Emjez Edchiche Salah Bouchaour, Ramdane Djamel and the plain of Skikda. - El Kebir, at the east, created by El Wadi El Hajar and El Fendek and flows into the basin of Ain Cherchar where takes place the confluence with its main tributary, the Hamimine river. It then leads to the plain of Guerbes and flows into the Mediterranean Sea. b) In the South, the Numidian chain or backbone of the oriental Tell is constituted of aligned summits from west to east whose crests decline eastwards (Jebel Sid Driss, Skikda, 1364 m altitude and Jebel Souani, El Kalaa 808 m). The massif of Collo reveals itself as an extension of the links of the Kabylia. It enters the Mediterranean Sea by Cape Bougarouni and culminates at 1183 meters at El Goufi Jebel the center of the Collo peninsula. Other points or vertices form the south barrier of Sid Driss at 1364 meters of alttitude. The plains areas (Oued Z hor, Grande plage, Vallées alluviales, El Kebir, Guebli, Saf Saf et Boussiaba, plaines sublittorales de Tamalous, El Harrouche, Azzaba and Ain Charchar) and low foothills or space located between the plains and the mountains contain the best land potentialities. The Mountain area is mainly constituted of forests (Bougarouni, Hamedas, Arb-El-Goufi, Senhadja of Collo, Beni Toufout, coastal range of Ain Zouit, Guerbes, Es Sebt, Ain Charchar, Ouled El- Hadj, Ouled Attia, Melila, Medjajda, Béni Medjahed... The profile of this area is agro-forestry-pastoral that is to say that its economy is based on the cultivation of the soil, the development and maintenance of the forest and livestock.

3 2. What is the economic vocation of the Wilaya in terms of its potential, its characteristics and advantages? The wilaya has 14 coastal municipalities extending over a total area of 145,000 ha. Its coastline extends over 140 km of coastline. Its core network infrastructure is based mainly on: a road infrastructure composed of 327 km of national roads, 603 km of roads of wilaya, 1657 kms of municipal roads and 137 of works of art. a railway network with a total length of 180 km, including 140 single track. 05 seaports including 03 fishing and boating ones (Stora, Collo and Marsa) of berthing capacity for 427 units. The two other ports have commercial functions related to hydrocarbons and travel. It has a petrochemical pole with an area of 1,200 hectares consisting of seventeen (17) high-tech petrochemical industrial units, two (02) power plants, the cement plant of Essoud to Hajar, a unit of marble, numerous little industries predominantly food industry and 17 activity areas with an area of 360 hectares. Regarding water resources, Skikda belongs to the watershed coastal Constantine center. This basin extends over five wilaya (Skikda, Annaba, Guelma Jijel and Constantine) to which are attached fifty eight (58) municipalities, thirty seven (37) only for Skikda. The hydrographic network covers more than 4500 km. The annual average contribution is estimated at 1,694 hm3/year, 1620 of which for surface water. It has 291 million m3 of surface water and 31 million m3 of unconventional water. The potential of large areas in the wilaya are estimated at 23,000 hectares (the basin of Wadi Kabir, at the east, for 13,000 hectares, the watershed of Wadi Saf Saf, at the center, for 6000 hectares and the watershed bassin of the Guebli river, at the west for 4000 hectares). UAA irrigated, irrigation all confused, amounted to 15,300 ha. By 2025, the irrigable area will know an extension of 12,800 hectares (the perimeter of Beni Zid on 1,200 hectares, the second tranche of perimeter of Zit Emba on 2,000 hectares, the perimeters of El Harrouche on 400 hectares, wadi zhor on 400 hectares, Ben Azzouz on 6600 hectares and Sidi Mezghiche Tamalous on total area of 2200 hectares).

4 Four (04) dams in operation (Zardezas, Guenitra, Beni Zid and Emba Zit) and the unit of desalination of sea with an average capacity of 100,000 m3/day safe Skikda, for long term, from a rupture between resources and water needs. In addition to its production and its distribution, it is necessary to also make the water drainage and treatment. Water and sanitation problems are directly involved on the welfare and health of citizens. For all these reasons, the wilaya registred the completion of a sewage treatment plant in Skikda, with a processing capacity of 42,000 m3/jour. The treated water will be used again for irrigation sector.1 of Ramdane Djamel, under way of study, of an area of 1500 hectares under the irrigated perimeter of Saf Saf. Regarding soil resources, the total agricultural area amounts to 193,197 hectares, 131,879 of utilized agricultural area. The forest area covers 198,420 hectares. The feuillis (oaks 44.5%) and softwood (pine 17.5%) are the main forest resources. Forestry sector has a nursery, at Guerbes, municipality of Djendel, with an area of 12 ha and a production capacity of two (02) million seedlings of cork and pine trees per year. There is also a complex of wetlands at Guerbes - Senhadja of international importance, with an area of 42,100 ha. This complex is a nesting habitat for rare species, migrating and wintering area for water birds and is a source of supply of marine species. The complex of wetlands has been the subject of a general study, whose main objectives are the development of an integrated consensual management plan and its classification as a protected area. Today, the new approach to resource management in soil, water and vegetation, supported by legislative and regulatory measures, is based on the principles of freedom of initiative, the right to use and concession as a mode of operation of public and private areas of the state. The idea is to create a market for rights of use. As for human resources, the province has an estimated population of 982,915 inhabitants. In absolute value, the average annual increase is of 21,575 people. The population would be one million inhabitants in The province is characterized by a high percentage of childish age (9% under 4 years, 26% under 14 years) and a small percentage (8%) of the elderly (60 and over). Overall, the population is young. As for fisheries, the coastal zone is provided with an extended continental shelf although little but rich in pelagic species (sardines and tuna) and demersal (white fish and crustaceans). The fishery resources, on the basis of assessments of 1988, amounted to 19,000 tons of biomass of which 8000 were exploitable reserves annually. In continental waters the province has significant potential favourable to the development of aquaculture. Interview realized by ANDI with the Wali of Skikda January 2014 Page 4

The geographical location of Wilaya, the current and future petrochemical industrial centers, the existing areas of industrial activities and those underway of realization, agricultural, forestry and tourism potential and current and future basic infrastructure will undoubtedly allow this Wilaya to consolidate its role in trade and economic flows with neighboring wilayas and the rest of the world.
