PROJECT APPROACH TO IMPROVING PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION MECHANISMS IN THE SPHERE OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The principles of public administration in the sphere of socio-economic development of regions are systematized. Among these principles we can see the following: scientific background, decentralization and coordination, recognition of regional and national interests, systemicity, activity, which conveys the current adjustment of achieved goals and expenses incurred for this purpose, partnership, design and forecasting, etc. It has been established that in order to ensure regional development, a low level of public management instruments will be used. Among them are the project approach, public-private partnership, strategy, investment, development of the sovereign fund, regional development, etc. We rely on the fact that the successful European integration of Ukraine opens up new opportunities for the development of regions, focusing directly: activation of stagnant project approaches, advancement level of life of the population; increasing the competitiveness of regional economies; obtaining investments and creating new jobs; modernization of infrastructure and improvement of the environmental situation. We respect that in order to realize these possibilities it is necessary to implement the following approaches: complete the decentralization reform and expand the re-importance of local authorities; create a favorable investment climate and receive foreign investment; increase the level of education and qualifications of the workforce; promote environmentally friendly technologies and rational use of natural resources; actively cooperate with EU countries and receive international technical assistance.
