Efficiency in the public sector: problems and possible solutions

The vector of transformation of public administration is close attention to the problem of efficiency in the current legislation, regulatory and methodological materials and theoretical publications. A positive trend is the focus on the harmonization of the management processes of state and municipal programs with national projects. However, there are a large number of pressing problems and contradictions due to the lack of a unified classification of types of effectiveness and methods of their assessment, as well as the weakness of their interconnection in the assessment for individual participants across the vertical when performing functions (rendering services, performing works), which negatively affect the achievement of national goals. These problems are often compounded by a formal approach to setting performance criteria, and in some cases by insufficient quality of reporting, on the basis of which management decisions are made. The innovation of the research is the integration of types of efficiency and their parameters at all levels of management consistently from national projects, state (municipal) programs, budgets of all levels and institutions. Based on the analysis of methodological approaches to performance evaluation, the author suggests the use of uniform types of efficiency throughout the hierarchical chain of management in the budgetary sphere: operational, social (public) and managerial. This article may be of interest both for representatives of the scientific community and for practitioners of government bodies, as well as state (municipal) institutions.
