About IDCThe Risk Capital Facility SBU is headed by Meryl Mamathuba. The primary objective of the RCF SBU is to provide funding support to projects that have a high developmental impact. It achieves this by managing concessionary funds and disbursing these funds into deserving projects.
Our focus
The RCF SBU’s emphasis lies in supporting projects that will eventually contribute to the development of the economy through:
- Job creation;
- SME development
- Development of rural areas and underdeveloped provinces and regions;
- Innovation and technology development across sectors; and
- Broad-based black economic empowerment and empowerment of other people that were excluded from participating in the economy, including women and people with disabilities, thereby graduating them from the second economy to the formal economy.
The funds currently managed by the unit include:
- Risk Capital Facility Programme (RCF Programme); More...
- Transformation and Entrepreneurship Scheme (TES); More...
- Clothing and Textiles Competitiveness Programme (CTCP); More...
- Support Programme for Industrial Innovation (SPII); More...
- Isivande Women’s Fund (IWF). More...
A business support programme has been incorporated under the RCF Programme; TES; and IWF to provide pre- and post-investment assistance.
