Lead time required to arrange training Projects usually fast tracked Not all projects appropriately suited for EPWP or not properly planned for or designed. Stakeholder mobilization and social facilitation critical but usually not allocated enough time.

Recommendations Multi year project planning. Review lead time required to approve training and budget allocation by DoL and Setas on EPWP projects. Standardize stakeholder mobilization and social facilitation to ensure uniformity across all EPWP projects. EPWP requirements to be factored in at project planning and design phase.
