The Regional Coordination of South East, CROSE, was founded in 1996 on the initiative of a group of individuals who hoped to promote new methods of thinking about regional and local development and also about more coherent organizational practices. An association bringing together 15 various movements present throughout the country (coffee producers cooperatives, school networks, womens' groups, fishermen, livestock rearers, farmers), CROSE is active in three particular fields:

Development and the economy; covering all activities related to production, processing, investment and savings.
Social; primarily involved in education and health.
Cultural; seeking to encourage the emergence of cultural identities which are historically specific to each region and to encourage people to be aware of their culture's strengths.

Cross doesn't have an official website yet however you can find some information on their agricultural projects through AVSF.org and some info on their actions during and after the earthquake on the CROSE blog.
