As Zagreb is one of the most socially responsible cities in the Republic of Croatia, great attention is paid to social welfare, granting of rights, as well as assistance and protection of those in need due to different life circumstances. Furthermore, the
City of Zagreb cares for its citizens, from infants to the elderly, by improving their living conditions.
The needs of the citizens are continuously monitored and measures that include tangible assistance in kind, nutrition, financial help, housing and other services that encompass all age groups, from infants to the elderly, persons with disabilities, victims of violence and other marginalized groups, are created, with an above standard level of rights and services often being provided.
The eligibility to receive grants for projects submitted to the European Social Fund, as well as other EU programmes are utilized in a significant way.
