Project "Support for construction and upgrading of entertainment venues foryouthin special villages and hamlets in Nghe An province in the period of 2021 - 2023" was implemented based on the actual situation when many villages and hamlets, especially those inspecial area, villages and hamlets with weak political systems and lack of playgrounds for children are almost non-existent, lacking or not guaranteed. That leads to children finding unsafe, unhealthy, even dangerous games that affect their lives.

Previously, since 2017, due to the urgency of building theplaygroundIn disadvantaged areas, special areas, and ethnic minority areas, local authorities and people have built many volleyball courts, soccer fields, and playgrounds for children in special blocks and hamlets.

However, according to the initial survey, the province still has 109 playgrounds that have not been implemented (including support for purchasing equipment, upgrading and renovating 18 soccer fields, 79 concrete volleyball courts, and 12 covered playgrounds for children). The total estimated cost of the project is about 5.45 billion VND. The implementation period in 2021 is 20 soccer fields and playgrounds, in 2022 is 50 soccer fields and playgrounds, and in 2023 is the remaining 39 soccer fields and playgrounds.

With the practical significance of the project, at the consultation session, the majority of opinions agreed with the implementation of the project. In addition, many opinions were also given to supplement the layout of the project to ensure clarity.

In addition, delegates also said that during the implementation process, it is necessary to consider the overall situation, so that it is suitable for the reality of localities and projects under other projects, especially after merging villages and hamlets.

Commenting on this project, Mr. Le Hong Vinh, Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, requested the Provincial Youth Union, the leading unit, to review each point for investment and construction, avoid overlap and waste, and use it effectively. In particular, the objectives of each project must be clearly defined. The project also needs to rewrite the layout, paying more attention to the units of villages and hamlets after the merger.

Comrade Le Hong Vinh also requested other departments and sectors such as the culture, ethnic, natural resources and environment sectors and localities to review other projects to avoid overlap and have similar investments. In addition, it is necessary to carefully check the origin of the land, the sample design for each project must be consistent with local traditions.

During the implementation process, it is necessary to do a good job of propaganda and mobilization to receive the consensus of the people and local authorities.
