Microcredit Summit Campaign

The Microcredit Summit Campaign is a 2006 re-launched campaign which objective is two-fold: to ensure that 175 million of the world's poorest families can have access to credit for self-employment and other financial and business services by the end of 2015; and that 100 million families rise above the US$1 a day threshold, between 1990 and 2015. The original campaign was launched in 1999 and reach is 9 years-goal by 2006. The campaign website has numerous resources for those involved in microcredit. However, the 2006 State of the Microcredit Summit Campaign Report is a must-read, as are some of the papers commissioned by the Microcredit Summit Campaign in 2006.
