Abstract: The history of the rural development in Algeria shows instability. There is at least one land reform every decade. However, due to an excess of state control, agro-climatic constraints, historical and social issues and handicaps suffered by the organizational and technical aspects, the results of these policies, are below the expected objectives. The implementation of the NPARD was supposed to cause a disruption with the old policies, through a participative approach and through financing arrangements to the farmers, thus allowing the reactivation of the agricultural production. However, the lack of land titles and small land holdings, the low supply capacity in terms of inputs and equipment, the misappropriation of subsidies for farming activities to benefit the non-farming activities, resulted in a low level of commitment on the part of the farmers to the NPARD and in investments freezing.
