@geoalgeria/emploi

Every public employment agency in Algeria — as data you can install.

The 58 AWEM (wilaya employment agencies) and 273 ALEM (local employment agencies) of Algeria's national employment agency, ANEM — each with address, phone, fax, email, manager, the communes it serves, and GPS coordinates. Shipped as JSON, CSV, and GeoJSON. Part of GeoAlgeria.

npm install @geoalgeria/emploi

import emploi from "@geoalgeria/emploi";

const awem = emploi.awem();         // 58 wilaya-level agencies
const alem = emploi.alem();         // 273 local agencies
const all = emploi.agencies();      // all 331 (AWEM first)

// Agencies in a wilaya (joins GeoAlgeria's wilaya_code)
const inAlger = all.filter((a) => a.wilaya_code === "16");

// Which local agency serves a commune? `communes` lists the communes served.
const serving = alem.filter((a) => (a.communes || "").includes("REGGANE"));

What you can build

• Agency locators — coordinates on (almost) every record, ready for distance sorting or a map.
• "Which office covers my commune?" — ALEM records list the communes they serve.
• Contact directories — phone, fax, email, and manager per agency.
• Maps — drop-in GeoJSON point layers for the whole employment network.

What's inside

| Dataset | Count | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | AWEM (wilaya agencies) | 58 | one per wilaya | | ALEM (local agencies) | 273 | each lists the communes it serves |

Formats

The npm package ships the JSON (importable directly):

import alem from "@geoalgeria/emploi/data/alem.json" with { type: "json" };
// or via CDN, no install:
// https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@geoalgeria/emploi/data/alem.json

The loaders and record shapes are fully typed — TypeScript definitions ship in the package:

import emploi, { type Awem, type Alem } from "@geoalgeria/emploi";
const local: Alem[] = emploi.alem();

CSV and GeoJSON are in the repo under data/ and bundled in every GitHub Release:

data/
  awem.json               # 58 wilaya agencies (array)
  alem.json               # 273 local agencies (array)
  metadata.json           # source, counts, generated_at
  csv/awem.csv            # repo + Release bundle (not in npm tarball)
  csv/alem.csv
  geojson/awem.geojson    # Point features (records with coordinates)
  geojson/alem.geojson

GeoJSON includes only records that have coordinates — 2 ALEM report no lat/lng and are omitted there (but remain in JSON/CSV).

Record shapes

ALEM (local agency)

{
  "id": "01-02",
  "code": "0102",
  "type": "ALEM",
  "name": "ALEM REGGANE",
  "address": "Hai Saada - Reggane",
  "phone": "(049) 320 - 373",
  "fax": "(049) 320 - 372",
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "manager": "BELHADJ ABBELKADER",
  "communes": "REGGANE,SALI",
  "wilaya_code": "01",
  "lat": 26.71627,
  "lng": 0.17441
}

id is a stable {wilaya_code}-{seq} key synthesized by GeoAlgeria — ANEM's own code is kept too but is missing on a few records and not unique, so prefer id. communes is a comma-separated list of the communes the agency serves. wilaya_code joins to GeoAlgeria's wilaya_code.

AWEM (wilaya agency) — same shape, id = the 2-digit wilaya_code, keyed by name / address / phone / manager with lat/lng; no communes.

Need the administrative divisions too?

For wilayas, dairas, and communes (and postal data), use the main geoalgeria package. Use @geoalgeria/emploi when you only need the employment-agency network.

Source

Data comes from ANEM (Agence Nationale de l'Emploi) via its cartographic portal (https://www.anem.dz/#/portail-carto). There is no public API — the agencies are embedded in the portal's JavaScript bundle. Run npm run fetch to regenerate every output: it rediscovers the current bundle, extracts both datasets, fixes the source's X=lat / Y=lng inversion, and normalizes wilaya codes. ANEM files agencies under the 58-wilaya scheme, so new wilayas 59–69 currently appear under their mother wilaya.

License & attribution

The manager field is the agency head's name as published, verbatim, on ANEM's own public portal — it is not private data. Each rebuild reflects whatever ANEM currently shows; if they remove it, it drops out here too.
