From the start of the year, the CWP became part of the new non-state sector of the second phase of the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP II). [...] In addition, the Department of Public Works decided to appoint the Independent Development Trust (IDT) as the intermediary responsible for the non-state sector of the EPWP, but delays in finalising this appointment meant contracts for the wage costs of the CWP were finalised only in August 2009. [...] • Concluding the pilot phase of the CWP by formalising the norms and standards for CWP sites, the criteria for approving IAs, and mechanisms to support and respond to growing demand to participate in the CWP. [...] The CWP extends to 14 wards and the mayor would like the programme to cover at least 20 of the 22 wards in the municipality. [...] The number of participants was raised to that their children are safe and they can enjoy the 3 000 and the programme extended to include more children in the evening because they come home well of the surrounding area, and also the townships of the fed, looked after and loved.
