The Pothole programme:Stipend determination matrix for the pothole rehab programme

•The commitment of appointment of 400 beneficiaries per metro yields the following scenario.

•The case study that informs the allocation of beneficiaries is 1 kilometer ( km) of road translates to 2 work opportunities (1km = 2 Job opportunities)

•A proposal to peg the stipend at R90.00 for the 6months at three days per week:

•R90 x 12 working days x 6months=R6,480.00 income per beneficiaryMonthly income of R1,080.00

Stipend determination matrix for the pothole rehab programme

•Costing of the 2400 work opportunities for 6 metros

=R6,480.00 income per beneficiary x 400 beneficiaries=R2,592,000.00 x 6 metros =R15,552,000.00 remuneration

•From these total costing it may be deduced that budget may allow the programme to extend beyond the 400 job opportunities proposed.•The identification of further roads may be considered to extend the job opportunity period beyond the six months•The identification of the roads and immediate engagements with all municipalities must be finalized for informed commitments

Measures put in place to improve performance on EPWP incentive draw down

• Public bodies ( Provincial Departments and Municipalities) are being provided with support to report on EPWP. The 90 data capturers employed are helping in this regard.

• A partnership with DBSA through the Siyenza Manje programme has been put in place to support municipalities jointly.

• Training of officials in Municipalities in Labour-intensive methods of construction with LG-SETA is currently being rolled out.

• Training on reporting is also being done to Public body officials to enable them to report better on EPWP.

• Technical support being provided to Public bodies to implement their projects more labour-intensively so as to create more work opportunities and Full Time Equivalents that will increase the incentive drawn down.

19

Report on the EPWP reporting system

• EPWP Monitoring and Evaluation has two systems: the MIS and the Web-Based System. The use of two systems has created confusion to EPWP part

• The two systems will be intergrated to produce a single EPWP system that can be interfaced with other systems.

• Process development was completed on 5 January 2011.The process include the consultation of internal and external stakeholders to determine the system requirement and reporting requirements

20

System requirements and reporting requirements were determined during the Joint Application and Development

sessions (JADs).   The timeframes for development are: Integrating the MIS and Web-based system(March to June 2011) Interfacing the system with the GIS and SAS (July to September 2011)Piloting the system and training users (June to December 2011 and ongoing)
