Think Tanks
Currently there are about 15 organizations of different types that deal with expertise and analyses. Most of them belong to the Belarusian Association of Think Tanks. Only few think tanks have trained staff and work on a regular basis.
Specific economic and political situation in Belarus does not allow think tanks to live on providing analytic and consulting services. Most of them operate on the basis of international charity foundations support. The rest exist on the basis of civic initiatives and clubs. Presently, Belarus lacks for a full-fledged analytic production market.
