An initiative of the Presidency and the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture (DSAC), PESP4 is aimed at creating opportunities in the creative and cultural sectors with a focus on shared value. PESP seeks to demonstrate the government’s capacity to take public employment and other forms of publicly funded support to a new scale, with the achievement of more than 550 000 jobs and livelihood opportunities, and still more in implementation.
