Catholic Relief Services (CRS), is an international non-governmental
organization supporting relief and development work in over 100
countries around the world. CRS programs assist persons on the basis of
need, regardless of creed, ethnicity or nationality. CRS works through
local church and non-church partners to implement its programs.
Therefore, strengthening and building the capacity of these partner
organizations is fundamental to our approach in every country in which
CRS operates. CRS re-established its presence in Nigeria in 2000 and
currently focuses on agriculture, governance, peace building and
Health/HIV programming.
