The State of the Campaign Report is an annual report that compiles outreach data from microfinance institutions (MFIs) around the world. It is a platform to promote the campaign's goals as well as an opportunity to extend updated information in the field of microfinance to the general public and practicing institutions.

The Microcredit Summit Campaign has collected data for the State of the Microcredit Summit Campaign Report for 11 years and has verified that data for the last nine years. The process consists of (1) the circulation of Institutional Action Plans (IAPs) to thousands of practitioners requesting their most recent data; (2) a phone campaign to the 200 largest MFIs in the world to encourage submission; (3) a verification process seeking third-party corroboration of the data submitted by the largest MFIs; (4) data compilation and analysis; and (5) the writing and publication of the report. This process has, for more than a decade, produced the largest primary-source collection of data from MFIs available.
