Challenges
Inadequate funding for more continuous employment
Lack of support from some local stakeholders eg. municipalities
Coordination challenges with some municipalities
Lack of capacity – 22% vacancy rate in branch
Procurement challenges related to NRM transfer to DEA
The current definition of EPWP might be excluding other people paid out
of the EPWP allocation
Inadequate funding for the sector threatens the achievement of targets
