2 4.3 P rogramme 3: Expanded Public Works Programme The purpose of the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) is to coordinate the implementation of programmes and strategies that lead to the development and empowerment of communities and develop strategies to promote enterprise development. This encompasses the provincial coordination of the EPWP. The EPWP is a nationwide programme aimed at the reorientation of the public sector spending in favour of projects that create more work opportunities. Provincial Departments and Municipalities are, therefore, required to assume responsibility of planning, design, and implementation of job creation initiatives within their Departments and municipalities. Reporting of job creation on the EPWP reporting system and all budgetary and project management principles therefore is still the responsibility of each reporting body. Outcome 5, Poverty relief and improved employability of programme beneficiaries relates to Programme 3. Strategy to overcome areas of underperformance As part of strategies to overcome areas of underperformance, the Department monitors APP performance targets on a weekly basis. In addition, the executive authority developed a tripartite platform with a view to implementing ten priority plans. These plans include the Alexandra Renewal Project, Cleaning and Waste Management, Job Creation (Nasi’Ispani), Municipality Turnaround, CBD Revitalisation, Water Sustainability and Infrastructure, Energy Strategy and Response Plan, Indigent Register, Bulk Infrastructure, and Optimising Government Strategic Assets. DID launched the iDEP, a digital platform, to improve infrastructure project management’s effectiveness, accountability, and openness. The system is a component of the Department’s larger plan to ensure data-driven decision-making, improve accountability, and modernise infrastructure delivery. The Department held a required training on the Portfolio of Evidence (PoE) system and Infrastructure Delivery Platform (iDEP). It is crucial to understand that all Professional Service Providers, working with Internal Project Managers, are required to utilise the iDEP PoE systems to report monthly on all infrastructure projects they execute on behalf of the Department. Performance reports on the iDEP and PoE systems are the only forms that the Department will accept going forward. It is required of all contractors to have completed and attended systems related training (iDEP and PoE) and to make sure that access to both systems is granted. The Department is still dedicated to making infrastructure construction more efficient, and it strongly encourages all parties involved to abide by the new reporting guidelines. Performance in relation to Standardised Outputs and Output Indicators for Sectors with Concurrent Functions During the 2024/25 financial year, there were no standardised outputs and output indicators that the Department was reporting on.
