1. Progress through the MIG ProgrammeRegistration of EPWP Projects :

One of the Pre-2011 priorities of the Local Government Turn Around Strategy (LGTAS) is to upscale the Community Work Programme (CWP).

The CWP is now located in the Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA) with effect from 1 April 2010.

The Minister accepted the Programme through a letter to the Minister in the Presidency: National Planning signed on 02 December 2009.

2. The Community Work Programme

3. What is the Community Work Programme?

A. The CWP is part of EPWP, and complements the other components.

B. The Community Work Programme provides access to a minimum level of regular work - ie 2 days a week = 100 days a year.

C. It is an area-based programme, intended to be ongoing; this allows it to target the poorest areas: where market-based jobs are unlikely to come any time soon.

D. Site management is handled by implementing agencies appointed by the programme.

E. The CWP uses community participation to identify ‘useful work’ and priorities.

F. ‘Work’ is decided in Ward Committees or local development fora; it is multi-sectoral and contributes to public/community goods and services;

G. Start-up scale: 1,000 participants per siteH. CWP sites have a 65% labour intensity.
