16 May 2021 With the launch of its Agency Strategy, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) seeks to catalyze development and humanitarian outcomes at scale. To this end, CRS is investing in six Strategic Change Platforms (SCPs) of which SCP1 is focused on Fostering Just and Cohesive Societies. Under SCP1, social cohesion and justice are seen as force multipliers that accelerate and amplify the effectiveness and sustainability of impact across sectors. In the initial 3-year seed investment period (2020-2022), SCP1 is focusing on three main areas of activity: developing a stronger evidence base for social cohesion and justice integration; piloting integration with other SCPs; and strengthening staff and partner competencies for social cohesion and justice integration. Internal and external influence activities are also part of the initial workplan and are integral to achieving the SCP1 goal of enhancing development and humanitarian outcomes through systematic integ ration of social cohesion and justice.
