All these projects have been the subject of the object of constant evaluation by the Scientific Council and an external expertise and restitution on thematic workshop held on 16 October 2012:

• Agriculture in Arid Regions
• Water and soil resources
• Environment and major risks
• Socio-economy .

For the objectives of :

• Placing restitution and evaluation tradition
• Promote the exchange between scientific and socio-economic sectors
• Identify the valuable results
• Identify research prospects for the next program in reference to the of strategic orientation axes

Running program within the framework of the PNR:

National research program (NRPs) : being finalized

• The researchers of the CRSTRA participate in it with 13 projects considered as priority for the country and/or clearly posted by the socio economic sector as the project related to the cold preservation of date to promote its exportation that about the risk of silting of the new railway Touggourt –Hassi-Messaoud or also of that tooth fluorosis treatment affects children in the Saharan region

National Research programs 2011-2014 :

law n° 08-05 issued on 16th Safar 1429 corresponding to 23th February 2008 with the orientation law concerning the law orientation and the program to five-yearly projection on scientific research and technological development2008-2012, defined in its article 3 the the main objectives of scientific research and technological development projected for the coming decade. To achieve these objectives, Article 4 defines the titles of the 34 national research programs (NRPs) ,

In this context, the Scientific and Technical Research Centre on Arid Regions, four pilot programs as it happens :

• NRP 3 Water Resources [PDF] [PS]
• NRP 4 Environment and promoting sustainable development [PDF] [PS]
• NRP 33 Territorial development [PDF] [PS]
• NRP 34 Development of arid and semi-arid, mountainous and fight against desertification. [PDF] [PS]

The total number of submitted and retained projects amounts to 188 projects which required the mobilization of human and material tools to ensure their management (scientific and administrative)
