Assessing the efficiency of implementing municipal programs in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)

Abstract

Improving the standard of living of the population is the main task of all levels of executive power in the system of state and municipal government in the Russian Federation. Over the past decades, the program-target method of management has become the main method for implementing the activities of the SMU system, the main task of which was to coordinate the guidelines for the overall socio-economic development of the country with the gradual specification of the tasks set to the level of the region, and then the municipality. The article once again proves the need for methodological support of the municipal government system in the formation, implementation and evaluation of the effectiveness of municipal programs, as the main tool for strategic planning of the development of the territory. Problems have been identified both at the level of planning municipal programs and at the level of evaluating the effectiveness of their implementation, which lies in the impossibility of quantifying the results achieved. A methodology for an integrated assessment of the effectiveness of the implementation of municipal programs is proposed, based on three key areas: planning and assessing the implementation of activities, planning and assessing the timeliness and sufficient funding, assessing the quality of planning and reporting of the municipal program. The presented methodology for the integral assessment will make it possible to quantify the effectiveness of implementing municipal programs, which will facilitate the ranking of the activities of local governments of municipal, urban districts and municipal districts of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), increase the internal level of motivation among municipal employees, and improve their skills.
