The following tasks are to be resolved in the process: – create a system of efficiency indicators for executive authorities and budget programs; – organize current monitoring of the efficiency of executive agencies, which will ensure targeted collection of information that is necessary for a correct understanding of progress in the achievement of set goals, objectives and implementation of plans; – organize prompt analysis of incoming information in order to timely detect a deviation from the planned implementation of projects (programs); – create a single state information system that will provide for automatic collection, processing, analysis and provision of relevant information about the entire system of public administration.

In addition, the development of a regulatory and methodological framework and introduction of mechanisms for making government and municipal agencies more transparent as well as the improvement of interaction between executive authorities and society would also be vital for devising effective mechanisms for determining target indicators as provided for in the Administrative Reform Concept.

The concept calls for creating effective mechanisms for civil society (citizens, organizations, business community) to influence decisions of executive authorities that affect their rights and legitimate interests.

The following mechanisms have to be devised and put in place: – disclosing information about the activity of government agencies and local authorities; – organizing public discussions of decisions in the making; – conducting a public examination of socially important decisions of executive authorities.
