In respect of earmarked funds, the Extended Public Works Programme (EPWP) Incentive to Provinces showed an expenditure of R129 million or 27 per cent, with EPWP Incentives to municipalities at R255 million or 44 per cent, and the Construction Education Training Authority (CETA) [Human Resources], Energy Efficiency, Compensation of Losses, Distress Relief, and Loskop Settlement all stood at 0 per cent by 31 December 2010. The DoPW attributed the slow expenditure on Energy Efficiency to the protracted bidding process which resulted in the late awarding of the bid and the lack of capacity to manage the project.
