  3. Theme & Purpose of the Summit

  4. Municipal Summit Theme & Purpose • Theme: “Accelerating towards the delivery of 4,5 million work opportunities for the poor” • The Summit was held on 2 - 4 November 2011, Gallagher Estate in Midrand • The purpose of the Summit 2011 was to: “Ensure increased job creation by municipalities in order to reach the 4,5 million work opportunities target and 2 million FTE target.”

  5. Content of the Municipal Summit 2011 • Imparted technical knowledge and an understanding of the EPWP Phase 2, especially in the context of the new political principals elected into office in 2011. • Considered the progress against the 2010 Summit Resolutions. • Debated key policy principles of the EPWP within the context of job creation imperatives and the performance of the EPWP since 2009/10. • Considered best practice. • Garnered the support of political principals and technical staff in terms of the EPWP Phase 2 targets.

  6. Key discussions at the Summit

  7. Key issues discussed at the Summit… (2) • Increased number of reporting municipalitieswere noted by Chairperson of SALGA and the Free State MEC of Public Works, Ms Mabe. • However, the Northern Cape MEC of Roads and Public Works, Mr Dawid Rooi noted that under-reporting exists on the Programme in that 43 municipalities did not report in any sector in 2011/12 (i.e. in either quarter 1 or 2). • The Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee of Public Works noted that the Parliamentary Oversight visits have highlighted that municipalities have not identified suitably trained officials to implement the EPWP within the municipality.

  8. Key issues discussed at the Summit… (3) • Municipalities requested DPW to expand and continue the provision of Technical Assistance to municipalities. This technical support should be to ensure that labour-intensity on projects are increased especially because the application of labour-intensive techniques can generate 3-5 times more employment than conventional infrastructure projects, as noted by the ILO Guest speaker, Dr AddoAbedi. • The Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee of Public Works noted there needs to be an increased focus on attaining the full time equivalent targets by ensuring that work opportunities are at least 100 days in duration. • Poor reporting in the Social Sector at municipal sphere was noted in the commissions i.e. only 12 municipalities reported in 2010/11. This has been attributed to a lack of understanding of the social sector programmes.
