The Presidential Employment Stimulus: building a society that works

The Presidency has released the report: The Presidential Employment Stimulus: building a society that works: 2,5 million jobs, opportunities and more. "The Presidential Employment Stimulus (PES) was launched in October 2020 as part of South Africa’s Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan, in response to the economic impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. Building on a long history of support to public employment through the Expanded Public Works Programme, the PES has provided an ‘innovation sandbox’ for scaling up publicly-funded jobs and livelihood opportunities."
