2. Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) Incentive Grant to Provinces An amount of R267 269 000 has been allocated for the Expanded Public Works Programme Incentive Grant for provinces with a view to incentivise provincial departments to increase job creation efforts in infrastructure, environment and culture programmes through the use of labour intensive methods and the expansion of job creation in line with the EPWP guidelines. However, it is important to note that the allocation for this grant decreased by R63 735 000 from the R331 004 000 allocated in the 2010/11 financial year. This is noted with great concern since this programme intends to promote job creation, particularly labour intensive methods and full time equivalent jobs.
