Expanded Public Works Programme

The Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) is one of the government’s short-to-medium term programmes aimed at the provision of additional work opportunities coupled with training.The EPWP aims to create additional work opportunities for a minimum of one million people (at least 40% women, 30% youth and 2% disabled) in South Africa between 2004 and 2009.

The EPWP, working with the Departments of Social Development, Health and Education, selected two programmes - Home Community-Based Care (HCBC) and Early Childhood Development (ECD) - as the lead pilot programmes for the social sector. This has led to the development of variety of training programmes in these fields. Read more about how this programme works on www.epwp.gov.za
