Total number of individuals who gained direct access to or made use of financial services funded by the Grants, reflecting their impact on financial inclusion and economic empowerment. Examples of financial services include microfinance, credit facilities, mobile banking, investment support, or financial education programmes (e.g., on household budget management) supported by the Grants.

If your programme targets women, consider making this indicator gender-specific. If not, this indicator should be disaggregated by self-reported gender (in non-binary terms): female / male / other / prefer not to say. Alternatively, it can be disaggregated by age, using these categories: Young ≤ 29 years old / Adult ≥ 30 years old / Prefer not to say. Please see the Guidance on the use of the core indicators library.

If your programmes targets individuals from marginalised backgrounds, consider customising this indicator as follows: Number of people from deprived or segregated neighbourhoods or settlements directly benefiting from supported financial services. Deprived or segregated neighbourhoods or settlements are geographically concentrated areas—often at the margins of towns, cities, or in rural regions—where residents, frequently Roma or other marginalised groups, face limited access to public services, poor infrastructure, and social and economic exclusion. These areas may be identified using tools such as the Atlas of Roma Communities in Slovakia or similar national mapping systems.
