Program and project approach to the development of Siberia

Abstract
The author discusses the issues of implementation of target management approaches to the long-term development of regions of the Russian Federation. The success of apply-ing such approaches to planning and management at the regional level depends on a choice of priorities and ratio between and sequence of development of programs and pro-jects in the planning process, the quality of the techniques applied, and a financial support of the planned results. The article shows that a project approach is of priority for the development of Russian regional policy. Regional programs are a set of basic projects that are not always aimed at developing territories and domestic markets. Our analysis of the strategic documents of the Russian Government shows that most of Siberian regions are not considered as strategically important ones for the country. These facts together with the ongoing centralization of financial resources at the level of the Federal center are key obstacles in implementing development programs for Siberia and units of the Russian Federation's located in Siberia as well as those for the Russian Far East.

Key words: Goals, programs, projects, planning, implementation, intergovernmen-tal fiscal relations, Siberia.
