Background
Strategic framework on civil society development for the period 2012 – 2016 is set in the National Strategy for the Creation of an Enabling Environment for Civil Society Development1, based on a broad consensus among civil society and government representatives. The measures set in the Strategy are to ensure adequate legislative, administrative and social conditions for the development and agency of civil society, as a fully independent and highly relevant social agent for social innovation, promotion of participatory democracy, protection of human rights and competent and efficient monitoring of public policies in the context of Croatia’s final phase of accession to the EU and its immediate aftermath. There are four priorities defined by the National Strategy – I Institutional framework for the creation of an enabling environment for civil society development, II – Civil society and participatory democracy, III – Strengthening the role of civil society organisations for social and economic development, and IV – Activities and further development of civil society in the international context. Ensuring an active role of the civil society organisations (CSOs) in the process of European integrations and programming of EU funds are important goals defined within priority IV.
