Social Employment

Fund

INTRODUCTION

 

As part of Government’s broader economic recovery agenda, the Presidential Employment Stimulus uses direct public investment to support employment opportunities while driving an opportunity for growth and renewal across South Africa.

 

The stimulus package now includes social employment as part of its portfolio of interventions to create jobs and support livelihoods. The Social Employment Fund (SEF) is a bold and ambitious fund aimed at tackling unemployment through strengthening partnerships with a wide range of social and civic partners, enabling them to create ‘whole of society’ initiatives for greater scale and impact across South Africa.

SEF has won the Prosperity Catalyst Award at The Bay Awards in Spain. Out of more than 150 entries from around the world, the SEF stood out as a finalist and ultimately took home the top prize. This accolade showcases the incredible impact the programme has in SA, built on strong partnerships with 37 civil society organisations and 1,100 community allies.
