CIDC cleaners and members of the City’s Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) seen clearing all the drains along Claremont’s Main Road. This is currently being done on a weekly basis. .
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’.
