Overview of the EDP and UEDI
Data on the services provided to clients
1. EDP
Although a range of services may be provided by CFDCs to EDP clients, the only data that is currently available to us relates to loans. As indicated below, the number of EDP loans issued by the CFDCs has declined from 152 in 1999/2000 to 88 in 2003/04 while the value of the loans has decreased from $3.3 million in 1999/2000 to $1.9 million in 2003/04.

Over almost a six-year period, CFDCs have provided 615 EDP loans totaling over $13 million.
2. UEDI
While each of the UEDI delivery agencies report at least some information on the services they provide, there is no commonality in the activities that are tracked, the methodologies used, or the definitions applied. As a result, it is not possible to roll up the data to provide a profile of the UEDI services delivered. The following table is not exhaustive but is intended to illustrate the wide variance in the types of data that is tracked.

Unlike the EDP program, WD does not compile loan statistics on the UEDI program. Based on information provided to us by the delivery organizations and WD representatives, we have put together a table that summaries the number and value of loans issued under the UEDI.
| Delivery Organization | Loans Issued | Amounts | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coast Capital | 47 | $967,895 | As of April 2005 |
