The first project provides for building four multi-sport halls which will enclose multi-sport playgrounds, locker-rooms, health centers and bleachers for 500 seats, while the second project provides for building a sports complex, which will include a soccer stadium, two basket ball courts, two handball courts, a multi-sport indoor hall, an athletics track and locker-rooms.
Since 2005, 173 projects have been carried out in Fez out of the 316 projects planned as part of INDH, with investments about at USD 30.5 million.
Morocco has earmarked USD 382 million to implement the 2008 INDH action plan, which includes 5,172 projects, according to figures presented at the second meeting of the INDH steering committee.
