Infrastructure and other programmes. E.g.,
School building: employment opportunities – community labour & emerging contractors
Poverty Relief Programmes: graduate from survivalist to emerging enterprises

21. Challenges Projects generally limited to a financial year.
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 or resources.

22. Issues for discussion
Integrated coordination and delivery: ISRDP, EPWP, Project Consolidate and ASGISA.
Integrate EPWP principles into all government programmes (re-branding)
All IDT EPWP agreements to support provinces pertain to infrastructure. To what extent is this a reflection of the participation of other sectors in EPWP
Discrepancies between demand and supply. What does this mean for the EPWP targets
Policy gaps: DoL funds life skills training; SETA fund learnerships. Gap i.r.o technical training before assuming learnerships
