OBJECTIVE
To utilise public sector budgets to alleviate unemployment
![Page 6: 1 Implementing the EPWP in the Infrastructure Sector 2 March 2005.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110400/56649dda5503460f94ad1362/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Creating productive employment opportunities
Increasing the labour intensity of government-funded infrastructure projects
Creating work opportunities in public environmental programmes (eg Working for Water)
Creating work opportunities in public social programmes (eg community health workers)
Utilising general government expenditure on goods and services to provide the work experience component of small enterprise learnership / incubation programmes
This will be achieved by:

Enhancing the ability of workers to earn an income, either through the labour market or through entrepreneurial activity
Provide unemployed people with work experience
Provide education and skills development programmes to the workers

TARGETS
Target the unemployed and marginalised
To provide one million employment opportunities with training to unemployed people, within the first five years of the programme
![Page 11: 1 Implementing the EPWP in the Infrastructure Sector 2 March 2005.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110400/56649dda5503460f94ad1362/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Covers all spheres of government and SOE’s
Each public body must formulate plans for utilising its budget to draw significant numbers of the unemployed into productive work, and to provide them with training
SCOPE
![Page 12: 1 Implementing the EPWP in the Infrastructure Sector 2 March 2005.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110400/56649dda5503460f94ad1362/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

• EPWP involves the large-scale re-orientation of line budgets so that government expenditure results in more work opportunities
•All public bodies are expected to contribute to the programme
•The conditionalities that are attached to the Provincial Infrastructure Grant (PIG) and Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) are contained in the Guidelines

Key requirements of the EPWP Guidelines
EPWP conditions will be included in the Division of Revenue Act (DORA) for the conditional provincial and municipal infrastructure grants (PIG and MIG):
Certain types of infrastructure projects must be done labour-intensively projects, in accordance with DPW guidelines
DPW guidelines cover identifying, designing, and producing tender documentation for labour-intensive projects
Guidelines require provinces and municipalities to apply eligibility requirements for appointment of contractors and engineers on labour intensive projects (they must be qualified in the use of labour intensive methods)
![Page 16: 1 Implementing the EPWP in the Infrastructure Sector 2 March 2005.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110400/56649dda5503460f94ad1362/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
The need has been identified to build capacity to implement large numbers of labour intensive projects
Together with the CETA a strategy for building this capacity is being implemented.
NQF level 2, 4, 5 and 7 unit standards have been registered with the SAQA and CETA targeting: Foremen Site supervisors Contractors/ Consultants/ Officials Engineers/ Consultants
In addition these are being integrated with existing learnerships and skills programmes
![Page 17: 1 Implementing the EPWP in the Infrastructure Sector 2 March 2005.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110400/56649dda5503460f94ad1362/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Projects and activities amenable to labour intensive construction and that must be done by hand on EPWP Projects:
•Spreading•Shaping•Camber formation•Loading•Ditching/ Trenching•Sloping•Gravelling and Finishing•Sidewalks

Implications of the EPWP on the execution of projects
DORA conditions are aimed at creating a minimum amount of labour-intensive construction. Government bodies are encouraged to do more
While it is recognised that most provinces and municipalities do some labour intensive construction projects, the targets of the EPWP will only be met if the use of these methods is increased significantly.
This means that it will need to go beyond the small common LI contracts and needs to move also executing larger projects labour-intensively
This will mean that larger contractors will also be required to use labour-intensive methods
![Page 26: 1 Implementing the EPWP in the Infrastructure Sector 2 March 2005.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110400/56649dda5503460f94ad1362/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Provinces and municipalities prioritise and decide on projects using their PIG and MIG funding, using normal allocation methods, such as Integrated Development Plans (IDPs)
National not involved in allocation of funds to projects – provinces and municipalities allocate in line with DORA conditions
MIG is managed and disbursed through dplg, PIG through National Treasury
DPW will provide support to provinces and municipalities to simplify implementation
CETA and DPW putting in place NQF unit standards, qualifications, and accredited training programmes for contractors and engineers for labour-intensive construction

Key aspects of the EPWP employment conditions frameworks:
Ministerial Determination for Special Public Works Programmes and the Code of Good Practice
Gazetted after negotiations at NEDLAC Allow for special conditions of employment to facilitate
greater employment on Public Works Programmes:
• Employers may set rates of pay locally at self-targeting rates, to avoid attracting workers away from more permanent employment
• Reduced obligations for employers, eg no UIF insurance payments
• Task-based payment for labour-intensive works
![Page 42: 1 Implementing the EPWP in the Infrastructure Sector 2 March 2005.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110400/56649dda5503460f94ad1362/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
These special conditions of employment are on condition that:
Workers have an entitlement to training
The duration of employment of a worker under these special conditions is limited
![Page 43: 1 Implementing the EPWP in the Infrastructure Sector 2 March 2005.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110400/56649dda5503460f94ad1362/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

DPW and CETA designed learnership programme
Is a support mechanism to provinces and municipalities: participation is optional
Participation based on province/municipality signing an MOU with DPW and the CETA
Modelled on Limpopo’s Gundo Lashu programme (expansion of best practice)
LABOUR INTENSIVE CONTRACTOR LEARNERSHIP PROGRAMME
![Page 44: 1 Implementing the EPWP in the Infrastructure Sector 2 March 2005.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110400/56649dda5503460f94ad1362/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
44
CETA has agreed to fund learnerships for 1500 individuals for the EPWP Labour Intensive contractor learnership programme
Each Contractor Learnership will have three persons trained in the programme: one contractor and two site supervisors
DPW will provide a mentor over the two-year period to the learner contractor
Municipality or province will allocate three training projects to the learner contractors
DPW will also provide programme management support as required
![Page 45: 1 Implementing the EPWP in the Infrastructure Sector 2 March 2005.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110400/56649dda5503460f94ad1362/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
