Inspection of Embassy Algiers, Algeria [ [link removed] ] 04/08/2025 04:18 PM EDT

What OIG Inspected 

OIG inspected the executive direction, policy and program implementation, resource management, and information management operations of Embassy Algiers.  

What OIG Found

* Embassy Algiers’ Front Office generally complied with Department of State standards for tone at the top and standards of conduct, execution of foreign policy goals and objectives, and other areas of executive direction. The Ambassador and Deputy Chief of Mission were a strong team who provided strategic direction in ways that fostered collaboration and interagency coordination.
* The embassy had several safety issues related to elevator mechanical deficiencies, fire protection, and driver duty limits.  
* The embassy’s Diplomatic Technology Office had multiple information security, knowledge management, and internal control issues that required attention.
* Spotlights on Success: Embassy Algiers’ Facility Management Unit developed a system to prevent water from separating in generator fuel tanks, ensuring readiness for emergencies. The Management Section’s safety observation program raised awareness and enabled embassy-wide involvement to promote safety.
