ECDP BREAKFAST MEDIA BRIEFING

ROADS and Public Works MEC, Phumulo Masualle, invites a representative from your organisation to attend a Breakfast Media Briefing to be 
held in Room 1140 at the Legislative Buildings in Bisho on Wednesday, March 28.

During the briefing the MEC will launch the Emerging Contractor Development Programme (ECDP), one of the key milestones in the governments 
commitment to the uprooting of poverty and inequalities in the province. This would be a provincial launch that will soon be followed by 
similar events at district level.

Key principles of the ECDP are the:

* Provision of entrepreneurial development opportunities to emerging contractors
* Affirmation of the previously disadvantaged individuals or groups in the construction industry
* Creation of an independent cream of emerging contractors
* Access to opportunities to include support and the creation of a track record

The Emerging Contractor Development Programme is part of a broader programme by the government to ensure the transformation of the 
construction industry by placing the previously disadvantaged individuals in the mainstream of economic activity in the industry able to 
compete with their previously advantaged counterparts.

As from tomorrow there will be an Emerging Contractor Development Programme workshop for the department in the East London King David Hotel 
and the launch will be subsequent to that.

NB:The breakfast briefing starts at 07h30 and is expected to last an hour.
