Department of Basic Education ➔ EPWP ECD initiative to scale up ECD for 0–4s xxii Secondary Human resource development (parents, caregivers and community development workers) The EPWP ECD Targeted beneficiaries programme aims to Children aged 0–4 expand access to ECD ECD practitioners services, improve the quality of ECD services and, at the same time, develop skills, create jobs and create incomeearning opportunities. The DoE is responsible for achieving these objectives by: practitioners; trainees; disseminating learning materials for ECD trainees and for use in ECD centre learning programmes. The DoE has identified a key intervention towards realising its commitment as the production of materials to guide teachers and parents in early intellectual stimulation. It aims to reach 10% of children per year aged 0–4 from 2009–13. xxiii National DoE is responsible for policy and monitoring. Provincial departments are responsible for funding and implementation. xxiv Privately run ECD centres employ the learners trained through the EPWP ECD initiative and use the developed materials. ➔ 165
