For more than sixty years, CRS has worked side-by-side with partners to alleviate human suffering, promote social justice, and assist people as they strive for their own development. The Partnership Principles were developed almost 20 years ago, as part of the CRS World Summit under the vision that “Solidarity will transform the world” and they are still in use today. These principles set the foundation for partnerships based on long-term vision and a mutual commitment to peace and justice.
