Abstract
Improving the effectiveness of public administration in the field of environmental protection in the regions depends on the quality of implementation of environmental programs. An analysis of the development and implementation of these documents raises numerous questions regarding the low quality of implementation, which is due to a number of reasons of various origins. Based on the analysis of the results of our own research and conclusions reflected in the publications on the issue under consideration, a summаry of individual shortcomings in the development, implementation, and evaluation parameters of the effectiveness of programs is provided. The article presents a set of reasons for the low effectiveness of environmental programs; the use of content analysis made it possible to identify the most obvious of them. Fifty categories of reasons were identified. The latter were differentiated according to their content by 181 codes and analyzed in order to determine the share of the most significant reasons. It is shown that the lack of a unified methodology for assessing the effectiveness of programs does not provide an opportunity to objectively assess the effectiveness of the implementation of the set tasks to improve the environmental state of a territory. In 2025, environmental programs will be extended in most regions of Russia. It is pointed out that solving problems that affect the success of regional environmental programs creates the potential for improving environmental management systems and the ecological situation. The results obtained are important for improving regional environmental policies and developing appropriate programs.
