The Microcredit Summit Campaign

Working to ensure that 175 million of the world's poorest families, especially the women of those families, are receiving credit for self-employment and other financial and business services by the end of 2015

Working to ensure that 100 million families rise above the US$1 a day threshold adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP), between 1990 and 2015

The Institutional Action Plan

The basic building block of the Microcredit Summit Campaign is the Institutional Action Plan. Each Council Member institution agrees to create its own Institutional Action Plan, specifying the contributions that it intends to make toward the fulfillment of the Summit's goals. An institutional action plan contains quantitative goals, a description of methods, and a time table.

To assist in the development of action plans that reflect the principles outlined in the Microcredit Summit Declaration and Plan of Action, and to facilitate the sharing of bold and innovative plans, the Secretariat developed Institutional Action Plan Forms. Council members are sent the appropriate action plan summaries, which are posted here as well.

Please submit Action Plans by May 31, 2008 to ensure inclusion in the 2009 State of the Microcredit Summit Campaign Report.
