Good Return’s Strategic Plan

A road map to delivering our mission

Good Return’s strategic plan sets out how we will work over the next three years to empower more people with the skills, confidence, and tools they need to build financially resilient lives. It guides how we prioritise, plan resources, and stay accountable for the outcomes that matter most.

We remain focused on supporting people who are marginalised and excluded from financial services, particularly women entrepreneurs, while piloting initiatives for young people, people with disabilities, and migrant workers. By combining financial empowerment with inclusive finance, and leveraging innovative approaches like our Impact Investment Fund, climate-smart solutions, and tailored digital tools, we aim to break barriers in the financial system and help more people confidently grow their livelihoods.

Our target groups

We will continue our focus on helping people who are marginalised and excluded from financial services and economic opportunity - particularly women entrepreneurs.

We will also pilot targeting people with disabilities, young people and migrant workers - three groups in our region who are falling outside the system and have a potential to make a contribution to emerging economies if given the right opportunities.

Our approach

Our work has two focus pillars: financial empowerment and inclusive finance. This powerful combination of skill building and breaking barriers within the financial system will help more entrepreneurs confidently access the financial system and build their livelihoods.

Our flagship initiative is our Impact Investment Fund, leading the way in the sector to use an innovative blended finance tool to change people’s lives.
