2. Coordination of the EPWP is conducted at two levels: Provincial Steering Committee which is chaired by Roads and Public Works and Regional Coordinating Committee which is co-chaired by Roads and Public Works and a District Municipality representative. These are platforms to account on EPWP implementation; share best practices and discuss strategic matters such as linkages between EPWP and IDPs. However, there is recognition that coordination of EPWP should also be driven at political level. The Minister of Public Works, Premiers and Municipal Mayors are expected to sign protocol agreements with EPWP targets and obligations. At the time of the oversight visit, all 45 municipalities in the Eastern Cape had signed protocol agreements. 3. The Eastern Cape reported that they were one of the significant contributors to the national effort on EPWP II implementation. As at end March 2011, 118 181 work opportunities were created against the annual target of 72 000. The Eastern Cape contributed an impressive 18 per cent to national work opportunities. They are now second to KZN. As at the end of the 2010/11 financial year, 1 129 projects were reported across all sectors. The Province spent only R2 billion out of the R9 billion budget. The average minimum daily wage was R61. Provincial government departments reported the majority of projects (503) while municipalities reported 433 projects and national departments reported 193 projects. The Province has exceeded the 55 per cent target for women by achieving 62 per cent. The 40 per cent target for youth was surpassed by achieving 48 per cent. The Province is still under-achieving in work opportunities created for people with disabilities. The Province only reached 0.6 per cent of the 2 per cent target. The Province promised to develop a strategy to involve people with disabilities and they would involve organisations of people with disabilities.
