EPWP Phase 3 Reporting System• The EPWP Phase III new reporting will be conducted via a single source

reporting system which introduces new built validations.

• Real time application of validation rules will include ID number validations with the Department of Home Affairs and the DPSA for PERSAL information.

• An exciting development for the new system is the integration of biometric capability for better quality control. The biometrics will be used as a secondary identifier together with the EPWP participant ID number.

• Parallel recording for fingerprint recognition, where possible, will allow for the link of participant data to the data sets of other government systems.

• The system will be set up to accommodate various biometric measurements

• To date, the EPWP M&E Unit has conducted a number of training workshops with all the sectors and the implementing public bodies.

• All Public bodies are currently capturing the 2015/16 Quarter 1 (April to June 2015) data on the new system.

35

Progress on Institutionalizing the PEP - IMC• The first sitting of the Public Employment Programme Inter-Ministerial Committee

is scheduled for the 08th July 2015 coupled by site visits to EPWP Projects in Gauteng Province.

• The PEP-IMC will be chaired by the Hon. Deputy President Mr Cyril Ramaphosa comprising of Ministers for the following core departments:

• Public Works

• Social Development

• Environmental Affairs

• Corporative Governance and Traditional Affairs

• Other Ministers from National Treasury, Small Business Development, Rural Development, Labour, Trade & Industry and Economic Development are critical members of the PEP-IMC and will be invited as and when required.

36

Key Challenges

• Low technical capacity of public bodies to implement EPWP.

• Non attainment of person with disability and youth targets

• Non-attainment of FTEs targets – due to shorter duration of work opportunities.

• Social Sector Programme such as the National School Nutrition Programme (NSNP) not adhering to the minimum daily wage stipulated in the ministerial determination.

37

Measures put in place to address challenges

• Technical support is being provided to public bodies to help them

implement their projects labour-intensively and to report effectively.

• Engagements are being held with Organisations that represent persons

with disabilities to improve their participation in EPWP.

• Engagements are being held with different programmes to enable them

adhere to the EPWP minimum wage.

Labour Market Dynamics Survey Results

From the 2014 Labour Market Dynamics survey released by StatsSA, the following has been

reported:Awareness about the Expanded Public Works Programme and other government job creation programmes has increased from 42,8% to 52,0% in 2014.

Women are more likely to participate in these programmes, with the share of women among those who participated increasing from 59,3% in 2011 to 63,1% in 2014.

In 2011, a larger proportion of youth participated (51,1%), but by 2014 this had reversed in favour of adults (54,4%).

In both 2011 and 2014, participation in the Expanded Public Works Programme was dominated by persons with an educational qualification lower than matric (65,6% and 69,9%).

In 2014, Eastern Cape accounted for 22,7% of those who participated in these programmes, followed by Gauteng (17,0%) and KwaZulu-Natal (14,9%).

In 2014, seven out of ten of those who participated in the EPWP and other government job creation programmes were employed.” This was up from 56.9% in 2011.

The survey also found that 4 out of every 5 participants who were employed had a formal sector job.

Thank You!
