DEVELOPMENT OF THE SYSTEM OF INTERRELATIONS BETWEEN FEDERAL AND REGIONAL PUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONS IN THE PROCESS OF FORMING FEDERAL PROJECTS

Abstract

The system of state strategic planning and management of the federal budget funds that emerged in 2010—2013, starting from 2017, is undergoing changes aimed at introducing the principles of project management of investment expenditures of the federal budget funds. The most significant of the changes presented is the transfer of investment expenditures aimed at the development of the transport and energy industries into understandable and limited in time and budget federal projects within the framework of the Comprehensive Plan for the modernization and expansion of the main infrastructure for the period up to 2024, approved in accordance with the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of May 7, 2018 No. 204 “On the national goals and strategic objectives of the development of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2024”. However, due to the inertia of the state budget management system, the project management system is implemented with excessive labor costs, duplication of processes and with certain assumptions, which leads to a lack of understanding by government authorities of the value of this process and a decrease in its effectiveness. One of the objectives of the implementation of project management is the  involvement of all subjects of the Federation in the planning of investment expenditures of the federal budget in terms of allocating funding for projects initiated by the regions, through the creation of an open and transparent system of allocating federal expenditures. At the same time, the presence of a system with multi-level and often duplicated coordination of expenses, with blurred limits of competence and powers, simultaneously with the budget process that is strictly regulated in time, does not allow to fully involve the subjects of the Russian Federation in the management of project activities.
