Summary The Policy and Advisory Services unit in the Presidency requested the Health Systems Trust to conduct a rapid fifteen year review of Government income poverty alleviation interventions to assess the outcome and impact of the policies, programmes and projects since 1994, as well as progress made towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of halving unemployment and poverty by 2014.
More Details

The main objective of this study has been to provide a brief description of the extent and nature of the SA Governments poverty income relief programmes and to assess their impact by undertaking a rapid appraisal using existing data sources. Examples of such programmes include the CBPWP, EPWP, National Youth Service, learnerships and cooperatives. While some of these programmes have a youth focus others have targeted other vulnerable groups.

This study was funded by GTZ on behalf of the Policy and Advisory Services Unit of the Presidency, Government of South Africa.
