For some Youth Village projects that still have problems and difficulties in land, planning, receiving and arranging youth to start a business, implementing recommendations of the State Audit, etc., it is recommended that relevant Provincial Youth Unions proactively advise the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the People's Committees of the provinces to pay attention to coordinating and directing the resolution.
