During last 10-15 years as a part of public administration reforms, improvement of decision making procedures some capacity in policy analysis was built in CEE, Central Asia and Caucasus counties. To some extent those developments were caused due to technical assistance provided by international donor organizations. Amongst most essential achievements one may mention: 

•    manuals that were translated and published in local languages;
•     lecturers and trainers in policy analysis who were trained within TA projects;
•  basic courses in policy analysis that were developed and launched in educational institutions;
•   academic programs in policy analysis that were developed and launched (namely, in NAPA –  specialization in Policy Analysis within MPA program);
•  number of training courses that were developed for in-service training of public servants;
•   government procedures with elements of policy analysis that were adopted in some of the mentioned above countries, namely policy papers writing procedures are considered as an instrument of decision making.

Although this potential does not have enough energy for further development without donor assistance in the majority of those countries. Thus implementation of policy analysis tools slowed down. In this context it is proposed to analyze which factors restrict further development of policy analysis, who are potential stakeholders of policy analysis, how current stage of policy analysis in a particular country impacts on economic, social and political environment, how those challenges can be overcome.
