Gauteng Enterprise Propeller

The Gauteng Enterprise Propeller (GEP) is a provincial government agency established in 2005 under the auspices of the Department of Economic Development to provide non-financial support; financial support; and co-ordinate stakeholders for the benefit of Small Medium and Micro Entrepreneurs (SMME's) in Gauteng.

The Provincial Government's decision to establish GEP as an agency that will support the establishment, growth and sustainability of SMME's in the Province was informed by two key strategic objectives:

- Commitment to halving poverty and unemployment in the country
- Ensuring increased and meaningful participation of SMME's and BBBEE in mainstream economic activities

The province recognises that SMMEs have a valuable role to play in addressing the afore-mentioned objectives and can - directly and indirectly:

- Contribute to the Province's and country's GDP
- Create some long-term sustainable jobs
- Ensure transformation in terms of the representivity of the economic sector as a whole and contribute to a reduction of poverty

--Footprints Filmworks Advert--

The establishment of GEP must be understood within this context. GEP is a flagship initiative of GPG, and has been identified as one of the strategic levers in the Province's Growth and Development Strategy. Read short profile
