On February 2, 2007, the Parliament of Croatia adopted the Code of Good Practice in Public Financing of NGOs. The adoption of the Code marks an important step in creating a more transparent mechanism for public financing of NGOs. To that end, the Code sets out basic rules and procedures relating to the government’s distribution of public grants to NGOs, including rules that will make NGOs more accountable for the grants received.

The International Center for Not for Profit Law and its affiliate, the European Center for Not-for-Profit Law, provided technical assistance in the preparation of the Code.
