action_plan:

The EPWP has demographic targets (60% women, 55% youths and 2% Persons with Disabilities). ILO as a technical assistance partner does not have direct control on the implementation of the programme. However, the ILO supported the Framework to enhance the participation of Persons with Disabilities whilst fostering gender sensitivities. The planned Gender Impact Study was not carried out due resource constraints and the closure of the Limpopo EPWP Project.

title:

Recommendation 6 – The results of a strengthened gender-sensitive approach should expand to a more robust vulnerability and discrimination-sensitive approach. The Gender Impact Study should be used as an entry point for increased relevance for gender equality. While some scattered gender and inclusion data is collected, the projects should prepare Phase V programming for gender disaggregated/sensitive data collection and analysis. The projects should continue to include in reporting until the end of Phase IV qualitative appraisals of the gender equality and inclusion progresses but also prepare for more robust reporting in Phase V. The identification of vulnerable cohorts to be more actively integrated in the programmes needs to proceed more effectively for increased relevance of the programme that has its focus on the poor and those left behind.
