On October 31, the U.S-North Africa Partnership for Economic Opportunity (NAPEO) entrepreneurship delegation visiting Algeria awarded young Algerian entrepreneur Youghourta Benali a 4-month training, mentoring, and entrepreneurship scholarship program at Techtown Incubator and Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan as part of the NAPEO initiative in Algeria.  Youghourta, 25, is from Ain Oussera, Djelfa Province.  This prize exemplifies how the NAPEO initiative is supporting dreams and jobs in Algeria through unique public-private partnerships that build new bridges between the Maghreb and the United States.
