These communities are mainly informal settlements and marginalised rural communities.

There is also a strong emphasis on those in special need (e.g. orphans and vulnerable children) and those involved in informal enterprise or livelihoods activities (e.g. food gardens and home based care).

Benefits to Government

PPT provides significant support and assistance to various spheres of government (local and district municipalities as well as provincial and national government departments.)

Gearing

The effectiveness of PPT’s focus on project preparation is evident in the high gearing it achieves on both its operating overheads and the preparations funds utilized when measured against the capital unlocked.

There is also additional and un-quantified gearing which relates to:

a) developmental benefits as improvements in people’s quality of life, livelihoods, income generation and operating funds flowing into projects
b) significant improvements in the area of policies and strategies.
