In an effort to better facilitate these relationships, assistance and information flow, CRS is establishing a Partnership Unit within the CRS/Haiti country program to develop and implement partnership strategies through which CRS can best assist individuals and institutions to express their solidarity with the people of Haiti in their recovery process.
