Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poverty has long been a developmental challenge in the Global South in general and in sub-Saharan Africa in particular. With a fifth, mainly from the rural areas of the world, living below the poverty datum line, the world has a huge challenge to reduce poverty, worse still to eradicate it from the face of the earth. A target was set through the 2000-2015 United Nations (UN) Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and subsequently through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to reduce poverty by at least half by the years 2015 and 2030 respectively. In pursuing this goal, livelihoods of poor people though meeting with serious challenges, especially in rural areas, play a major role. This book explores the role played by people-centred Public Works Programmes in the fight against poverty and the development of rural communities in Africa. Whereas a number of countries in Africa have been approaching the issue of poverty through several interventions including Public Works Schemes, it is sad to note that poverty still tops the rankings among numerous economic and social challenges facing the continent. One wonders whether the public works strategy is misguided, misconstrued or mismanaged considering that its main objective is to make the unemployed more employable through the provision of temporary employment and training opportunities. The book concludes that Public Works Programmes, if well managed and people-centred, are one of the best ways to alleviate and even eradicate poverty in rural Africa, as it allows governments to make partnership with people, and facilitates implementation while giving space for economic self-sustenance, growth and development.

Book excerpt: The Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) was announced by the former president, Mr Thabo Mbeki, in 2002. The EPWP is one part of an overall government strategy to reduce poverty through the alleviation and reduction of unemployment. It is a deliberate approach to ensure that participants gain the necessary skills, increase their capacity to earn an income and increase their chances of securing employment, and embarking on sustainable intervention in the second economy to address social and economic inequities. The EPWP aims to create employment in four sectors: infrastructure, the environment, the social sector and the economic sector. This study focused on the social sector, specifically the programme for social auxiliary workers. The goal of the study was to determine the impact of the EPWP on Social Auxiliary Work (SAWs) in the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan area. In order to achieve this goal, a quantitative research approach was adopted to determine whether the EPWP for social auxiliary workers is successful in poverty alleviation and skills development. A questionnaire was designed as a data collection instrument which was divided into the broad categories of biographic information, poverty alleviation and skills development. Quantitative data were collected through a process of group administration. Quantitative findings indicated that the EPWP for SAWs was successful in terms of poverty alleviation. The findings indicated that the majority of respondents who had no income before the EPWP for SAWs earned an income after enrolling into the EPWP. Those who had an income before EPWP indicated that their financial position improved after enrolling into the EPWP for SAWs. Through the findings respondents also indicated that after qualifying as SAWs, securing employment was easy. SAWs reported that they were able to afford groceries, technology (airtime), toiletries, non-consumables, accommodation and clothing after enrolling into the EPWP for SAWs. The study also found
