The need for launch of such a website was noted during implementation of the previous projects, when IWPR staff noted the absence of the expert analytical content setting the knowledge-based discourse in the region. CABAR became a resource that filled in the gap in the analytical narration of the regional and domestic developments. CABAR gathered the independent voices, not replicating the official narratives and providing alternative views on many problems, conflicts, policies in Central Asia. CABAR became the foundation of the shift in analytical content production in Central Asia – from a descriptive and biased views to the in-depth, many-sided and alternative presentation of the drivers shaping the very reality people of Central Asian live in. With a continuous development of each of its components presented below, CABAR became the first regional think-tank utilizing international experience and linking local analysts and decision-makers for a sustainable development of the whole region.
