During the past decade, the Campaign has organized 12 conferences attended by more than 14,000 people, in order to track progress, examine trends, debate scholarly papers, and provide training to practitioners that was relevant to accelerating their progress towards expanding outreach to the very poor. The Campaign spent less than $12 million during the period 1997-2007, while the amount of microloans in the hands of the poor has expanded from an estimated $1 billion to $15 billion, demonstrating the significant leverage possible when an international campaign is able to mobilize millions of people and institutions on a global basis. -Alex Counts, President, Grameen Foundation
