• EPWP FOOD FOR WASTE
What is EPWP
• The Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) has its origins
in Growth and Development Summit (GDS) of 2003. At the
Summit, four themes were adopted, one of which was ‘More
jobs, better jobs, decent work for all’. The GDS agreed that
public works programmes ‘can provide poverty and income relief
through temporary work for the unemployed to carry out socially
useful activities’.
• The Programme is a key government initiative, which
contributes to Governments Policy Priorities in terms of decent
work & sustainable livelihoods, education, health; rural
development; food security & land reform and the fight against
crime & corruption. EPWP subscribes to outcome 4 which states
“Decent employment through inclusive economic growth.”
What is EPWP
• In 2004, the EPWP was launched and is currently still being
implemented. The EPWP is a nationwide programme covering
all spheres of government and state-owned enterprises. The
Programme provides an important avenue for labour absorption
and income transfers to poor households in the short to
medium-term. It is also a deliberate attempt by the public sector
bodies to use expenditure on goods and services to create work
opportunities for the unemployed. EPWP Projects employ
workers on a temporary or on-going basis either by government,
by contractors, or by other non-governmental organisations
under the Ministerial Conditions of Employment for the EPWP or
learnership employment conditions
Sectors of EPWP
The EPWP creates work opportunities in four sectors, namely,
Infrastructure, Non-State, Environment & Culture and Social,
through:
•
•
•
•
•
increasing the labour intensity of government-funded infrastructure projects
under the Infrastructure sector,
creating work opportunities through the Non-Profit Organisation Programme
(NPO) and Community Work Programme (CWP) under the Non-State sector,
and
creating work opportunities in public environment and culture programmes under
the Environment and Culture sector.
creating work opportunities in public social programmes under the Social sector.
The EPWP also provides Training and Enterprise Development support, at a
sub-programme level.
Environment and Culture Sector Overview
• The Environment and Culture Sector (E&C)’s contribution to the
EPWP involves employing people to work on projects to
improve their local environment through programme
spearheaded by various departments.
• The sector builds South Africa’s natural and cultural heritage,
and in doing so, dynamically uses this heritage to create both
medium and long term work and social benefits.
Environment and Culture Sector Overview
The objectives of the Sector are as follows
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

FOOD FOR WASTE BACKGROUND
• The concept originate from Curitiba, Brazil “Garbage that is not
Garbage”.
• Community collecting waste which they exchange for food parcels
(value of wage).
• In 2006 KZN (DoT), the concept was adapted to the South African
context by the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) under
the Food for Waste banner.
• Since April 2007 to date KZN (DoT) piloted the Programme in the
three Municipalities which are Hibiscus Coast, Msunduzi and
Ladysmith under the banner of the “Siyazenzela” Food for Waste
Programme.
• Project beneficiaries work a maximum of two days per week and in
return receive food parcels and vegetables every two weeks.

“Nelson Mandela”
“Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be
overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings."
"Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. It is the
protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life. While
poverty persists, there is no true freedom."
Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation.
Let your greatness blossom. Of course the task will not be easy. But not to do this
would be a crime against humanity, against which I ask all humanity now to rise up."
"Make Poverty History in 2005. Make History in 2005. Then we can all stand with
our heads held high.". We can still make history in July 2013; by creating more WO.
Base on this statement; I call upon you to go out and create WO for the poor and
start reporting. We know that Environmental projects are quick to implement they
are not technically. Lets make sure that your municipality register at least two
project in this month a we celebrate the life of this great Icon”
