ABOUT THE WOF PROGRAMME
• WoF is a South African, government-funded, multi-partner programme established and officially launched in September 2003 to focus on integrated fire management and veld and forest fires fighting
• The phenomenally effective programme (WoF) was originally inspired by officials from the United States Forestry Services who shared their expertise and knowledge with visiting South African firefighters.
• Imbedded in government’s Expanded Public Works Program (EPWP), the project combines sound land management principles and best practice veld and forest fire fighting expertise with the need to create jobs and develop skills
• The programme is managed in terms of a three year tender (i.e. WP 9191: 2007 – 2010) between government represented by the DWAF & dplg and the FFA Group.
• The Executive chairpersonship of the WoF programme is a shared responsibility between DWAF and dplg.
