Volume 6, Issue 1: March 2008
Dear Friends,
Welcome to a new edition of Microcredit Summit E-News. In this issue,
we showcase the important work that the Campaign and its members are doing
to reach the poorest1 through microfinance. The articles in this issue include:
I am also happy to share more information about our upcoming Asia-Pacific
Regional Microcredit Summit, to be held from July 28-30 in Bali, Indonesia.
Gerakan Bersama Pengembangan Keuangan Mikro Indonesia (GEMA PKM) has proven
to be an exceptional local host. When I visited Indonesia in late January,
I was impressed with the GEMA PKM leadership and staff for their enthusiasm
to serve as the local partner. I was equally energized by the level of
enthusiasm and commitment on the part of the Indonesian government, including
the Central Bank Governor, Mr. Burhanuddin Abdullah, who accepted our
invitation to serve as Chair of the National Host Committee. First Lady
Kristiani Herrawati will serve as the honorary co-chair of the National Host
Committee. I hope you will join us in Bali and help us to forward the
Campaign’s goals.
Registration for the Summit is now open.
You will notice that we have changed the format of our newsletter, and we

1The Campaign defines
“poorest” as those who are either in the bottom half of those living below
their nation’s poverty line or living on less than US$1 a day (adjusted for
purchasing power parity).
