Outcome-based
regulation
23
Speed of technological change demands forward-looking,
principles-based regulations with clear intent, rather than
prescriptive regulations
Co-regulation
Rules and codes developed by the industry, in consultation
with the government, and with legislative backing should be
considered as alternatives to direct regulation
Self-regulation
Where appropriate, self-regulation may be adopted, for which
industry itself is responsible for enforcement
Partnerships are key to our success

“Sustainable development can only be achieved with a broad alliance
of people, governments, civil society and the private sector, all
working together to secure the future we want”

Flagship programme
Algeria

Djezzy has launched ‘iMadrassa’, a new digital
tutoring service, aimed at helping high school
students in Algeria prepare for their graduation
examinations.
The goal of MYM is to empower
young people to make a positive
difference, through increased access
to education and through inspiring
social entrepreneurship, particularly
in the digital arena.

Djezzy has been supporting national competitions
to develop new applications and promote local
developers. These were held at two Djezzysponsored events, the first-ever ‘3G Cup Algeria’,
and the third FIKRA Conference.
As part of its efforts to support youth education,
Djezzy has opened a new reading room in the city´s
historic Casbah; working with the Casbah
Association.
