Abstract

Basing on the example of the government program «Regional policy and federal relations», the paper analyzes how programs of regional development are organized in the Russian Federation. We study the current system of indicators which shows that a program is successfully implemented if it meets its objectives. It is claimed that used indicators are not appropriate for the set objectives. Many indicators either do not reflect the program objectives or, in fact, diiute them. Our analysis demonstrates that the program needs improvement in terms of stricter adherence to the methodology of the programmatic approach.
