Media and Community Participation for the Development of the Local Groups’ Function (Algerian Experience)

Abstract

This study examines the role that civil society can play in conducting and promoting  the local  facility and administrative decision-making and control through the mechanism of the  right in the media ; the paper  also deals with  the extent of the success of this mechanism in achieving an ideal  local development. The idea of participatory civil society can only be  expressed in a democratic society through intermediary organizations representing their interests, and the local administration  can not be effective without activating the role of the local community organization to achieve a true partnership through the transparency of the administrative activity so that  the local community can never be  free from censorship. In fact ,the Algerian experience approved a supportive framework for the transparency of the work of local groups, as well as the  way for civil society participation in the local management of the facility indirectly to achieve local development.
