This follows a public call that was published from May to June 2023, inviting applications for funding of heritage projects nationally.
According to the NHC, 58 heritage projects made it through the adjudication process to qualify for the PESP4 funding in 2023. An amount of R52 568-million will be distributed to fund the proposals of the beneficiary organisations.
The NHC says that 6 894 jobs will be created through funding these heritage projects. A complete list of the beneficiaries will be made public on the NHC website.
The NHC has taken this opportunity to congratulate all successful applicants and wish them well in contributing to the growth of the heritage sector and the economy of the country.
The PESP programme intends to create jobs, stimulate the economy and alleviate poverty with a focus on youth, women and people with disabilities in the following main categories and priority areas:
