Analysis of the budget programme “Development of the Recreation and Leisure Infrastructure for the Population” in Taraclia de Salcie, Cahul District

The programme envisages four actions: upgrading the park, equipping the sports hall, improving the stadium and creating a lakeside leisure area. The analysis finds a severe lack of investment: the sports hall has not been repaired for over 25 years, the stadium has no stands or changing rooms, and the 400-seat House of Culture is rarely used. Buildings lack access ramps, and the park and ponds are neglected.

The village has 1,523 residents (758 men and 765 women). Many men work abroad, so women, especially older women and mothers, bear the consequences: isolation, anxiety and greater vulnerability to gender-based violence. In consultations, 92% of 100 participating citizens said the problem is important. They proposed an open-air space, possibly a gazebo, for activities for women, girls, men and boys. The document was produced within the EVA project, implemented by UN Women with European Union funding.
