Impact of Awarding Prof. Yunus the Congressional Gold Medal

Presenting Prof. Yunus with the Congressional Gold Medal would help to:

  • Raise public and congressional awareness of the power of microfinance to change lives;
  • Build congressional and U.S. government support for this proven anti-poverty intervention;
  • Send a strong signal to USAID and the World Bank that the U.S. is committed to microfinance for the very poor;
  • Reinforce the message that microfinance is strongly supported by both political parties.

Honoring Prof. Muhammad Yunus with the Congressional Gold Medal

Since the American Revolution, Congress has commissioned gold medals as its highest expression of national appreciation for distinguished achievements and contributions. Although the first recipients included citizens who participated in the American Revolution, the War of 1812 and the Mexican War, Congress broadened the scope of the medal to include actors, authors, entertainers, musicians, pioneers in aeronautics and space, explorers, lifesavers, notables in science and medicine, athletes, humanitarians, public servants, and foreign recipients.

As the recognized “father of microfinance,” Muhammad Yunus is esteemed in the United States and abroad as an innovative and tireless leader in the fight against poverty. For more than 30 years, his efforts to advance economic development and social change through microenterprise have been emulated by others and provided the tools for millions of desperately poor people to lift their families out of poverty.

Founder of Grameen Bank: Prof. Yunus launched the origins of Grameen Bank in 1976 with $27 from his pocket to provide business loans for 42 poor women in his native Bangladesh. This credit — given without collateral — has proven to be an incredibly cost-effective tool to fight poverty and serves as a catalyst for overall development for the poor who have been excluded from traditional banking services. Established in 1983, Grameen Bank is fully owned by its clients and has been a model for microfinance institutions around the world. Prof. Yunus played a key role in catapulting a movement to provide financial services on a global scale. Grameen has since expanded to serve more than six million poor families with loans, savings, insurance and other services and has partnered with corporations, such as Danone/Dannon.

Nobel Peace Prize: In 2006, the Nobel Committee awarded Prof. Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank the Nobel Peace Prize. The Committee noted that, “Microcredit has proved to be an important liberating force in societies where women in particular have to struggle against repressive social and economic conditions. Economic growth and political democracy cannot achieve their full potential unless the female half of humanity participates on an equal footing with the male.

Awards: Professor Yunus is the recipient of numerous international awards for his ideas and endeavors, including the Mohamed Shabdeen Award for Science (1993), Sri Lanka; Humanitarian Award (1993), CARE, USA; World Food Prize (1994), World Food Prize Foundation, USA; Independence Day Award (1987), Bangladesh’s highest award; King Hussein Humanitarian Leadership Award (2000), King Hussein Foundation, Jordan; Volvo Environment Prize (2003), Volvo Environment Prize Foundation, Sweden; Nikkei Asia Prize for Regional Growth (2004), Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Japan; Franklin D. Roosevelt Freedom Award (2006), Roosevelt Institute of The Netherlands; and the Seoul Peace Prize (2006), Seoul Peace Prize Cultural Foundation, Seoul, Korea. He is a member of the board of the United Nations Foundation.

Biography of Professor Muhammad Yunus

Professor Muhammad Yunus established the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh in 1983, fueled by the belief that credit is a fundamental human right. His objective was to help poor people escape from poverty by providing loans on terms suitable to them and by teaching them a few sound financial principles so they could help themselves.  From Prof. Yunus’ personal loan of small amounts of money to destitute basket-weavers in Bangladesh in the mid-1970s, the Grameen Bank has advanced to the forefront of a burgeoning world movement toward eradicating poverty through microlending. Replicas of the Grameen Bank model operate in more than 100 countries worldwide.

Born in 1940 in the seaport city of Chittagong, Professor Yunus studied at Dhaka University in Bangladesh, then received a Fulbright scholarship to study economics at Vanderbilt University. He received his Ph.D. in economics from Vanderbilt in 1969 and the following year became an assistant professor of economics at Middle Tennessee State University. Returning to Bangladesh, Yunus headed the economics department at Chittagong University. From 1993 to 1995, Professor Yunus was a member of the International Advisory Group for the Fourth World Conference on Women, a post to which he was appointed by the UN secretary-general. He has served on the Global Commission of Women’s Health, the Advisory Council for Sustainable Economic Development and the UN Expert Group on Women and Finance. Prof. Yunus is the author of Creating a World Without Poverty and Banker to the Poor.
