Through its co-ordinating role with other institutions, EDD will help to leverage the resources and expertise of these organizations to economic development outcomes. Secondly, Government needs a department that will co- ordinate certain major DFIs, whose mandates substantially intersect and sometimes result, for example, in separate decisions to finance the same organisations by different DFIs, without the knowledge of one another. The entities that the EDD oversees and provide strategic direction to are the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC), the Khula Enterprise Finance Limited (Khula) and the South African Micro-Finance Apex Fund (SAMAF).
