Razbor is a regional and local development consultancy providing services to public institutions, non-governmental organisations, and private companies in the preparation and implementation of development programmes and projects. Our experience stems predominantly from working with EU- and donor-funded projects in Croatia.

We believe that high-quality projects only arise from in-depth analyses of the needs and strengths of the institutions in question, and from mastery of economic trends, sectoral policies, and funding mechanisms. We support our clients in the successful uptake of development funding with attention to the specific needs and goals of their organisations and the target groups with whom they operate.

Our client work spans all phases in the programming and project cycle, from needs-analysis, strategic objective setting, and project identification and formulation, through to fundraising, project implementation, project evaluation, recommendations for further planning.

Razbor was established in 2005 in Zagreb, Croatia by a group of experts who had previously worked with international regional-development consultancies in the area of EU pre-accession funding. In founding Razbor, our idea was to create a team of dedicated, local experts deeply familiar with both the macro- and ground-level in Croatia and the surrounding territory, and one able to adapt and respond to the specific needs of our diverse, international clientele. We were motivated to develop a recognisable local intellectual-services provider in order to raise the bar in Croatia' EU-funding consultancy market, and we have proven successful in achieving our initial objectives. We believe, furthermore, that through Razbor and the high standards we set for ourselves and our work, we can contribute heightening the overall quality of development projects in Croatia and its neighbouring countries and, through doing so, add to the socio-economic development of our regional environment.
