GAUTENG DEPARTMENT OF
INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT
EXPANDED PUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMME
STATUS OF EPWP PERFORMANCE &
CREATING 300 000 JOBS BY 2019
1
BACKGROUND
 The Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) is now in Phase 3 (2014 to 2019)
 The target set by our President is 6million work opportunities
 This was disaggregated by the programme coordinators , the National Department of Public
Works (NDPW) by
 Sphere (National, Provincial, Municipal and Non-state)
 Sector (Infrastructure, Environment & Culture, Social, Non-state)
 Targets where set for Gauteng
 ALL Public Bodies were mandated to:
 Create jobs through various projects being implemented using ALL funding available
to each public body
 Report on the jobs created on a database administered by the NDPW
2
CREATING JOBS
 ALL Public bodies are required to use all available funding (equitable share, Municipal
Infrastructure Grant, Integrated Grant etc) to create jobs through their projects by:
 Ensuring job creation potential is considered at project selection.
 Optimising job creation in projects through the replacement of machines with people
wherever practically and economically possible.
 Ensuring that designers/specifiers produce procurement documentation which
compels implementers (contractors) to utilise people instead of machines
 Ensure that adequate supervision and transfer of skills is undertaken through projects
in order to:
 Upskill participants
 Ensure quality output
3
REPORTING OF JOBS
 ALL Public bodies are required to report jobs created on a nationally administered
database.
 Historically, this was done on a system which required certain basic information including
the names, ID numbers and days worked by the participants.
 This raised several Auditor General findings in that:
 Some participants were deceased
 Fraud was prevalent as there was not validation of people working on the programme
 There was not proof that participants were paid
 Duplication was prevalent
4
REPORTING OF JOBS
 As are result of this, the NDPW, introduced a new reporting system with several validation
requirements in order reduce the potential for fraud. As part of the system, evidence
needed to be captured onto the system including:
 Certified copies of all IDs of participants
 Contracts with all participants
 Proof of payment to participants
 Proof of UIF
 Proof COIDA
 Whilst the legislation requires IDS to be copied for all projects, the requirements for
certified IDS has presented an administrative challenge which was not catered for in tender
documents previously.

OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRESS
 The province exceeded it’s target in 2014/15. Whilst this suggests that the work has been
created on the ground, the figure does not take into account data which was invalid.
 The province has underperformed in the 2015/16 & 2016/17 (current year). This may be
attributed to:
 Under-reporting due to the administrative requirement for data capture
 Employment of foreign nationals who cannot currently be captured on the system
 Poor project selection (projects not conducive to Labour)
 Conventional construction without deliberate labour based activities written into
contracts.
 Lack of ownership of the requirement to create and report on job creation.
 As a result of this, the Province has underperformed by 382455 work opportunities.
 The premier has targeted 300’000 Work Opportunities over the next 2 year.
7
OVERVIEW OF PROGRESS (CONTINUED)
 This presentation aims to:
 Provide the rationale for a disaggregation of targets
 Recommend a disaggregation process
 Provide recommendations on key interventions that need to be implemented to
achieve the targets

NDPW Phase 3 Target Splits by Sphere
•
•
•
The nature of work undertaken by provincial departments is not the same as that of the
municipalities.
This has been recognised by NDPW who had split the Gauteng target taking cognisance of
the difference.
The initial province: municipality split appears to be 40:60

SPLITTING THE TARGET BY SPHERE
•
Whilst this was theoretically undertaken, review of the reported jobs on the reporting
system shows that
–
–
241 306 Work Opportunities (WO) were created (39% of the 5 year total & 60% of where we should be at this
time)

DISAGGREGATION BY SPHERE
 It is therefore same to assume that the targeted 300’000 work opportunities
could be split by sphere 60:40.

DISAGGEGATION BY YEAR
 It is appreciate that all Public Bodies are not performing optimally but are expected to improve on their
job creation and reporting , year on year.
 The NDWP estimated the increase year on year to be
 3% for Provincial departments
 7% for Municipalities
 This disaggregation was adopted for this purpose.

COST PER JOB/SECTOR
 The cost of a project comprises several components including
 Labour
 Plant
 Equipment
 The proportions of budget allocated for each of these elements varies from project to project depending
on the nature of the project.
 Based on the historical data from the reporting system, the cost per job may be estimated.

The Infrastructure Sector estimated a cost per job of R40 000/job for the 5 year targets. This was adopted
for this exercise.
14
ADJUSTMENT
 Using the budgets allocated to all public bodies, a theoretical job creation target was
calculated.
 The target was adjusted in consideration of:
 Projects not conducive to labour (plant intensive)
 Projects not promoting labour generation
 Challenges with data collection
 Challenges with data capturing onto the system
 Validation failures (fraudulent IDs)

Conclusion
 The 300,000 work opportunities have been disaggregated across public bodies in
the province
 This is achievable by all public bodies, provided that the identified interventions
are in place
 Interventions are required at various levels to achieve these targets
 Each public body must look at the targets, consider their budgets and
programme and develop a detailed estimate of output for the next 2 years
 It is recommended that a detailed action plan be created for the numerous
interventions which must take place in order to achieve the target
 Monthly monitoring of the action plan and the progress must take place and
must be reported at all key meetings
