- Description
- The purpose of this study was to establish what projects have been implemented in Zwide Township in Gqeberha to alleviate poverty. Criteria for a successful poverty alleviation project were identified guided by the factors that determine poverty and the sustainability of the development and training projects in place to alleviate poverty. This study assessed existing projects to ascertain where they were successful and where they could improve. The study revealed that several projects and programmes have been planned in Gqeberha, specifically for Zwide Township, to alleviate poverty but according to Nelson Mandela Bay’s IDP (2017:04), several projects have been placed on hold due to a lack of funds. This was a qualitative study that employed documentary analysis to gather relevant data. The study concluded that the Nelson Mandela Bay Expanded Public Works Programme is currently in operation in Zwide Township and should continue to target unemployed youth and adults to alleviate poverty.
