BOSPO and CRS ( Catholic Relief Services ) signed a Memorandum of Understanding in December of 2002. This agreement created channels for information sharing between the two organisations. It also resulted in the implementation of joint projects to promote the shared values of BOSPO and CRS.

BOSPO and CRS firstly co-operated to influence and aid in the creation of BiH's Development Strategy (Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper–PRSP). As a result of the partnership's activities in the early development of the strategy, BOSPO and CRS are well informed and prepared for additional participation during the implementation and monitoring stages of this strategy. (Refer to PRSP link for additional information).

The partnership secondly mobilised to implement an advocacy project “Building Partnerships for Good Governance in BiH”. (Refer to Advocacy link for additional information). This project has empowered citizens and government throughout BiH to work together to implement positive changes and policy reforms.

In 2004, BOSPO and CRS will implement two joint projects; “Creating a Regional PRSP Community of Learning” and “Building Citizen/Government Relationships through PRSP”.
