microcreditsummit begun 1997 is the world's most achieving network for humanity rsvp info@worldcitizen.tv if you can help pilot one of the next 7 microsummits -washington DC bureau of worldcitizen.tv 301 881 1655, best, chris macrae

What is a MicroSummit & Which Could be The 7 Most Wondrous for Humanity

A Microsummit is an ongoing series of annual meetings and continuous networking of practice in communities around the world

The Microcreditsummit started in 1997 provides a worldwide benchmark. It set and achieved the audacious goal of reaching 100 million poorest families with microcredit services in under a decade is arguably the most successful human networking event ever sustained. RSVP info@worldcitizen.tv other nominations

Keys to MicroSummit

Set an audacious goal which all participants can celebrate if it is achieved on time

Invite sub-networks to assemble at the summit – all to bring and openly publish their action plans

Have at least one practice methodology to open source whilst needing to quality control what its defining practices are and are not.

Benefit from publishing and updating a common information base

Have the great and the good recognise the start of the microsummit as a groundbreaking event for humanity whilst not distracting all news coverage from experiences progressed in the field

Why would it be advantageous to generate a family of microsummits now

There are many millennium goals that are behind the curve for accomplishing by 2015. Microsummits are an effective way for raising awareness and collaborating efforts across communities worldwide

Most of the longest established microcredit programs now bridge knowhow and solutions to other services than banking. Micro solutions tend to have a lot of empowerment synergies with each other and it is time that microeconomics success got a fair share of global funds versus macro-development approaches and their uneven record.

Microcredit branches empowered with mobiles can verify simple accounts for local accomplishments other than just finance. For example, a market is being formed of 250 million clean energy households. To get carbon credits for switching from kerosene to solar and biogas, observational data needs reporting. An Ugandan microcredit operation given a suitable mobile is proving to be that country’s lowest cost and most accurate verifier.

Whilst those aware of microcredit know that it is nothing to do with banking as usual, its not a name that others always race to identify with. Having a micro summit family -health, energy, education etc – would provide more ways to join up with micro. Having a practice context gravity can also minimise that other sizable change world networks are not reinventing the wheel provided we work out collaboration protocols between all who are committed to community-rising development

Moreover, the social business model developed by sustainability investors in micro –and championed by extraordinarily innovators like Dr Yunus - is the best tool entrepreneurs have got for rapidly replicating any vitally needed solution on the overall compass of ending poverty.
