Program-Targeted Management in the Public Administration System: Features and Prospects

The objective of this study, the results of which are presented in this article, is to analyze the fundamental principles and mechanisms of program-targeted management (PTM) that shape modern public administration practices in the Russian Federation. The author highlights that a key advantage of the program-targeted approach is the close alignment of planned activities with financial resources, ensuring targeted, prioritized, and efficient expenditures at every stage. The study examines the key features of PTM implementation, ranging from regulatory and legal frameworks and budget coordination to the introduction of a project-based approach and interdepartmental cooperation. The article providesa detailed discussion of common issues, including formalistic planning, insufficient coordination between levels of government, and challenges in monitoring results. The author concludes that the combination of PTM principles ensures its coherence, transparency, and effectiveness, enabling public authorities to achieve their socio-economic objectives and respond promptly to emerging challenges. A significant part of the research focuses on prospects for improvement, which include enhancing digitalization, transparency, and accountability for achieved outcomes. As a result of the study , a set of measures is proposed to improve PTM efficiency, including updated planning standards, the development of a unified digital platform, and greater involvement of expert communities. These measures can serve as a guideline for modernizing state programs and successfully implementing long-term national priorities.
