Final decision
The Minister of Employment and Social Development makes the final decision on projects recommended for funding. The amount of time it takes to process applications is determined by the volume of applications received. ESDC will make every effort to process applications in a timely manner. Once a final decision has been made on all applications, ESDC will notify applicants in writing of the review outcome (approval or rejection). Decisions are final and there is no appeal process.
Project start date
Recipients must not start their projects until they receive an ESDC approval letter and an agreement has been signed by an ESDC representative.
