Communications
The importance of communication in government
EPWP Communications is guided by the Communication Task Team Report (COMTASK) of 1996/97 and revised in 2009/10.
EPWP Communications recognises the following principles:
- citizens must be able to access information on opportunities and benefits created through EPWP Programmes;
- communication is necessary to ensure that government is responsive to the information needs of its citizens; and
- communication brings about a relationship of understanding and trust between the Programme and all its targeted audience.

- showcase partnerships with the non-state sectors; and
- build a recognisable EPWP identity and brand.
