LESS than two years ago, we launched the Presidential Employment Stimulus to create jobs and support livelihoods as part of supporting the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Presidential Employment Stimulus has just reached the milestone of one million participants reached since its inception.
This achievement is the result of a collaborative effort across government and the wider society, including the private sector, community-based organisations and many others.
The programme is contributing to employment creation while the economy takes time to create recover and create jobs at the scale we need.

It is still very much needed to complement recovery of the job market. It also supports that economic recovery in important ways.
