3. The Pothole programme:Stipend determination matrix for the pothole rehab programme The commitment of appointment of 400 beneficiaries per metro yields the following scenario. The case study that informs the allocation of beneficiaries is 1 kilometer ( km) of road translates to 2 work opportunities (1km = 2 Job opportunities) A proposal to peg the stipend at R90.00 for the 6months at three days per week: R90 x 12 working days x 6months =R6,480.00 income per beneficiary Monthly income of R1,080.00

4. Stipend determination matrix for the pothole rehab programme Costing of the 2400 work opportunities for 6 metros =R6,480.00 income per beneficiary x 400 beneficiaries =R2,592,000.00 x 6 metros =R15,552,000.00 remuneration From these total costing it may be deduced that budget may allow the programme to extend beyond the 400 job opportunities proposed. The identification of further roads may be considered to extend the job opportunity period beyond the six months The identification of the roads and immediate engagements with all municipalities must be finalized for informed commitments

11. Technical Support to Municipalities 174 Municipalities are currently being provided with Technical support in terms of implementation of EPWP. The EPWP plans to support additional municipal in the 11/12 financial year. Additional 6 Deputy Directors based in Provinces have been employed in this regard. 10

13. National Youth Service Programme The programme’s focus is on training of youth in artisan trades in the built environment. The DPW NYS programme consists of one year of training which consists of 6 months of theoretical training and 6 months of practical training. For the 10/11 financial year, 3,235 youth have been recruited on the programme so far. 100 youth who exited the NYS programme in the Northern Cape have been placed on an artisan training programme with the Nuclear Energy Corporation of South Africa( NECSA). The Department plans to place some of the youth who have exited the programme on the Pothole Repair Programme and cooperatives cleaning the land ports of entry. 12

14. Average duration of a work opportunity Table 1 shows that an increased average duration of 100 days in 6 provinces in the social sector was achieved this year (2010/11) as opposed to 2009/10 where the average was below 50 Average duration of more than 70 days was reported in the infrastructure and Non State (Non Profit Organisation) and the Environment and culture Sector. The community works programme recorded an average duration ofless than 50 days and that lowers the overall average duration of projects See tables below 13

16. Progress of the Infrastructure sector incentive in the 10/11 financial year Provincial Departments in 7 out of the 9 Provinces have been able to access the EPWP infrastructure sector incentive. R185.9 million will be paid out of the R330 million available for the 10/11 financial year considering 3rd quarter reporting. This represents 56% of the Provincial allocation. Only the Northern Cape and North West Provinces have not accessed their incentive allocation for the 10/11 financial year. For Municipalities, R 273.306 million of the R 622.996 million will be paid considering 1 st quarter reporting. This represents 44% of the Municipal allocation for the 10/11 financial year.

19. Measures put in place to improve performance on EPWP incentive draw down Public bodies ( Provincial Departments and Municipalities) are being provided with support to report on EPWP. The 90 data capturers employed are helping in this regard. A partnership with DBSA through the Siyenza Manje programme has been put in place to support municipalities jointly. Training of officials in Municipalities in Labour-intensive methods of construction with LG-SETA is currently being rolled out. 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. 19

20. Report on the EPWP reporting system EPWP Monitoring and Evaluation has two systems: the MIS and the Web-Based System. The use of two systems has created confusion to EPWP part The two systems will be intergrated to produce a single EPWP system that can be interfaced with other systems. Process development was completed on 5 January 2011.The process include the consultation of internal and external stakeholders to determine the system requirement and reporting requirements 20

21. System requirements and reporting requirements were determined during the Joint Application and Development sessions (JADs). The timeframes for development are: Integrating the MIS and Web-based system(March to June 2011) Interfacing the system with the GIS and SAS (July to September 2011) Piloting the system and training users (June to December 2011 and ongoing) Report on the EPWP reporting system contd
