In order to reduce poverty and inequality, the Plan emphasises the role of the Public Employment Services to match job-seekers to vacancies and highlights the role of the Commission for Conciliation Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA), labour migration regulation, etc. Furthermore, the President referred to the role of social dialogue in improving cooperation between business, labour and government, i.e. the fundamental mandate of the National Economic Development and Labour Council (Nedlac). Some of the main budget expenditure drivers over the medium term include protecting vulnerable workers, reintegrating work seekers into the labour market and ensuring decent work. In addition, the Labour Policy and Industrial Relations programme's main focus will be making transfer payments to address financial constraints at the CCMA and Nedlac.
