Non-State: Community Works have the shortest work opportunities again due to the structure of the programme. 8

Training on reporting is also being done to Public body officials to enable them to report better on EPWP.
Technical support being provided to Public bodies to implement their projects more labour-intensively so as to create more work opportunities and Full Time Equivalents that will increase the incentive drawn down. 26

3000 youth recruited in the NYS programme;
30000 beneficiaries trained;
