  1. Presentation to Standing Committee on Appropriations 21 April 2010

  2. 1. Progress through the MIG Programme Registration of EPWP Projects : • A total of 552 EPWP projects have been registered through MIG during the period April 2009 to March 2010 • The value of projects that were registered under MIG amounts to R8 762 billion. • The type of projects registered include: • Roads, sidewalks, storm-water • Water and sanitation • Sports Facilities • Taxi Ranks, street trading • Multi-purpose Halls • Cemeteries etc • Municipalities in GT, KZN and NW have been under-reporting on EPWP projects.

  3. 2. The Community Work Programme • One of the Pre-2011 priorities of the Local Government Turn Around Strategy (LGTAS) is to upscale the Community Work Programme (CWP). • The CWP is now located in the Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA) with effect from 1 April 2010. • The Minister accepted the Programme through a letter to the Minister in the Presidency: National Planning signed on 02 December 2009.

  4. 3. What is the Community Work Programme? The CWP is part of EPWP, and complements the other components. The Community Work Programme provides access to a minimum level of regular work - ie 2 days a week = 100 days a year. It is an area-based programme, intended to be ongoing; this allows it to target the poorest areas: where market-based jobs are unlikely to come any time soon. Site management is handled by implementing agencies appointed by the programme. The CWP uses community participation to identify ‘useful work’ and priorities. ‘Work’ is decided in Ward Committees or local development fora; it is multi-sectoral and contributes to public/community goods and services; Start-up scale: 1,000 participants per site CWP sites have a 65% labour intensity.
