Biography
Boudjemaa was secretary of state to the minister of regional planning in 2012.[1][2] In September 2013, she was promoted to Minister of Regional Planning and the Environment.[1][2][3][4] In June 2015, Boudjemaa was ousted from the government when her department was abolished and attached to the Ministry of Water Resources.[5]
In 2020, Boudjemaa was an advisor to the president of the Republic of Algeria, responsible for ecology.[1]
Following a ministerial reshufflimg on 21 February 2021, Boudjemaa was reappointed as minister of the environment in the Third Djerad government, replacing Nassira Benharrats.[1] She attended the 31st session of the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN).[6] She held the office until 7 July 2021.
Boudjemaa is in favour of the exploitation of shale gas, which she claims has no impact on the environment.[4][7] She has also encouraged Technical Landfill Centers (CET) to exploit their large stocks of waste to generate income[8] as "waste has now become an economic issue,"[9] and has called for legislation to limit "the dangers of the use of plastic on health and the environment."[10]
