The issue raised by members is related to the return of funds from some localities, agencies and units that have been allocated capital because there are no more subjects to implement, or they cannot implement due to obstacles from the Central Government's guidance and local practices.

Therefore, it is recommended that the resolution drafting agency, the Nghe An Department of Ethnic Minorities and Religions, should closely review to have a reasonable and correct allocation of resources; prioritize resource allocation for contents, sub-projects, and programs with high disbursement potential, in order to promote capital efficiency, avoid the situation of resource allocation that cannot be implemented, leading to resource repayment.

Along with that, pay attention to transferring resources between programs and between localities when not implemented to promote capital efficiency, contributing to promoting socio-economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas of Nghe An.
