Johannesburg Inner City Partnership

We are humbled and motivated by the global recognition given to the Social Employment Fund - a flagship of our Presidential Employment Stimulus – at the Bay Urban Visioning Awards in Bilbao, Spain. The Social Employment Fund has created public employment opportunities for more than 100 000 people in more than 6 000 sites across the country, supporting civil society organisations to create employment in communities. The Fund has been selected from more than 100 submissions from all over the world to receive the Global Prosperity Catalyst Award. We appreciate this recognition. Congratulations are due to all the partners who have made this initiative a success and we celebrate the contribution made to our society by the tens of thousands of South Africans who have benefited from this programme. Let’s keep it up.
