Resolution 8: NDPW will streamline training process to ensure that quality training is provided to beneficiaries
The EPWP training has developed processes and procedures, guided by the various applicable training legislatives and this has assisted the EPWP training in receiving Zero (0) audit findings from all the previous financial years. The procedures manuals in place are: 1.
The EPWP Training Framework.
2.
The EPWP Training Standard Operating Procedures Manual.
The main purpose of the EPWP Training Framework is to provide a policy directive to the EPWP sectors and implementers regarding Training within the EPWP context and it is aligned to the: 1.

Resolution 10: NDPW to strengthen coordination between municipalities, Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs) and implementing agents.
Context :
The Non-State Sector comprises 2 components i.e. the Community Work Programme (CWP) managed by COGTA, and NPO programme managed by NDPW.
Progress:
The municipal strategy for the implementation of the NPO programme was presented at the Cities Network workshop and Provincial roadshows. Most municipalities utilize NPOs for the implementation of the municipal projects ,for example in North West province one NPO was contracted to assist with the revitalization of Mafikeng for the financial year 2013/14. Municipalities are involved in the selection of the contracted NPOs through the provincial programme management teams (PPMT). The Non-State Sector (NSS) projects implemented are in line with the IDPs of the municipalities. The implementation of the CWP projects in a municipality is based on the municipal council resolution. Community participation is a critical requirement in site level decision making (through Local Reference Committees)
Resolution 11: EPWP Summit to be held every two years (biennially)
Context:
At the previous Summit it was decided to repeat the Summit every 2 nd year in order to allow Reporting Bodies time to implement projects and make progress towards reaching their WO and FTE targets.
Progress:
The 4th EPWP Summit is held two years after the 2012 EPWP Summit.

Conclusion:

Summary components:
As structures such as the DSC improve and mature, then these resolutions should be more actively monitored Some of the resolutions are difficult to measure, for example no of projects designed in a LIC manner. There are indirect measurements such as increased LIC.
