On the Need to Develop a Federal Program to Optimize the Economic Base of Public Control in Russia

Abstract

Annotation. This article is devoted to the analysis of the prospects for the development and adoption of a federal program aimed at optimizing the economic basis of public control in the Russian Federation. The authors substantiate the position that one of the main problems hindering the development of public control in the country is its weak economic base. Due to the fact that public authorities play an important role in the process of formation and functioning of subjects of public control in Russia, the basis for financing the organization and activities of public control are funds from state and municipal budgets. In this regard, the authors substantiate the need for the development and adoption by the Government of the Russian Federation of a comprehensive federal program dedicated to strengthening organizational, technological, material and property independence and independence of subjects of public control. The work substantiates the need to include in the draft of the above-mentioned federal program sections devoted to: ensuring the material and technical independence of subjects of public control from public authorities; ensuring their financing primarily from protected items of public budgets; development of processes for the use of modern information and communication technologies by these entities; consolidation of a system of criteria for assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of the work of subjects of public control as the main condition for increasing the volume of their funding; consolidating a system of control on the part of public authorities regarding budget financing of the activities of these entities; systems for organizing public-private partnerships in the field of public control. In addition, the work substantiates the system of proposals for participation in the development of the above-mentioned federal program of the country's Public Chamber.
