What we do
We support organisations at moments of strategic decision: entering or repositioning in a context, responding to funding shifts, designing programmes, strengthening partnerships, reviewing performance, or preparing for major donor opportunities.
Strategic Advisory
Country strategy, organisational strategy, fundraising and donor repositioning, funding diversification, mid-term reviews, nexus and humanitarian-development-peace positioning.
When clients call us about this: New country director, end of strategy cycle, donor landscape shift, USAID exit, funding diversification need, leadership transition.
Localisation Advisory
Advisory for INGOs, civil society organisations, and local partners working through the practical, strategic, and funding implications of localisation.
We support localisation strategies, partner transition pathways, direct donor access, and practical models for shifting leadership, resources, and decision-making closer to affected communities.
When clients call us: operationalising localisation commitments, supporting local partners to access donor funding directly, rethinking partnership models, or designing responsible transition pathways.
Evaluations, Reviews and Learning
Humanitarian evaluations in transition and protracted-crisis contexts, strategic reviews, after-action reviews, learning facilitation, and organisational assessments.
Delivered by evaluators who have also sat in the commissioner’s chair.
When clients call us: end-of-project evaluation, strategic response evaluation, mid-cycle review, programme close, or learning before institutional memory disperses.
Programme Design
Theory of change facilitation, logframe development, results framework design, concept notes, and programme architecture.
We help teams translate strategy, context analysis, and donor priorities into coherent, fundable programme design.
When clients call us: new programme launch, redesign after a funding shift, repositioning for a new donor, or turning a strategic direction into a fundable programme.
Proposal Development Support
Senior capture briefs, consortium positioning, technical proposal sections, donor analysis, and proposal strategy.
We provide senior judgement at the stage where it has the most leverage: before the proposal is written, while the positioning is still being shaped.
When clients call us: major donor opportunity approaching, consortium forming, donor landscape shift, or internal team capacity stretched during a high-value submission.
EU Project Support/Priprema EU projekata
Support for organisations in Croatia and the wider region to identify relevant EU funding opportunities, assess fit, and develop stronger project concepts and applications.
When clients call us: upcoming EU calls, project idea development, partner positioning, application strategy, or support translating a concept into a fundable proposal.
In Development: Ukraine Funding Intelligence Platform
A real-time funding intelligence tool for NGOs operating in Ukraine, consolidating open calls, donor intelligence, and strategic guidance into a single dashboard.
Currently in development, with pilot access planned from Q3 2026.
Recent engagements
CARE International Ukraine — Country Strategy 2026–2028
AnaDu Consulting provided technical leadership for the full country strategy cycle, including primary research with Ukrainian civil society organisations and stakeholder engagement at oblast administration level.
Who We are
AnaDu Consulting was co-founded by Ana Povržnić and Dubravka Latinac Pem in 2025.
Both served as country directors before founding the firm. Our differentiator is straightforward: we have sat in the chair our clients are sitting in.
Testemonial from Eva Tamber, Senior Consultant, AFF, Norway:
Ana brings exceptional clarity, discipline, warmth, and strategic judgement in complex humanitarian contexts. She combines operational leadership experience with the institutional expertise needed to help organisations secure funding, manage change, and scale sustainable impact. I would be more than happy to work with Ana again.
