Progressio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Progressio, formerly known as The Catholic Institute for International Relations (CIIR) is an international development charity working for justice and the eradication of poverty. It has skillshare and advocacy programmes. In Muslim countries it was known as International Cooperation for Development (ICD).
It was created in 1940, based primarily in the Roman Catholic church, but has been an ecumenical organization from the start.
It has been heavily involved with the churches group of Make Poverty History.
On 1 January 2006, CIIR changed its name to Progressio.[1]
