Assessment of the Efficiency of Local Self-Government Bodies in the Area of Preschool Education

Introduction. At the moment, in accordance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation, municipal power is a part of public power and is subordinated to its general principles. In this regard, the state establishes the obligation of local self-government bodies to report on the effectiveness of their performance. The Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 607 ‘On Assessing the Performance of Local Self-Government Bodies of Municipalities, Urban Districts and Municipal Districts’ stipulates a list of performance indicators for LSG bodies.

There are different opinions in the academic community regarding the need to assess the effectiveness of LSG bodies, the content and the implementation of indicators from various spheres of society for such an assessment. Therefore, it seems logical to analyze the performance of local self-governance bodies of a particular municipality on the basis of the indicators outlined in Presidential Decree No. 607. The author has selected the Krasnodar Urban District as the municipality to be analyzed.

Materials and techniques. The study is based on the materials provided by the Federal State Statistics Service. The research methods are universal academic methods, the techniques of statistical processing and interpretation of data.

Results. The analysis of the main demographic, economic, social and environmental indicators of the municipality revealed the issue of the selection to municipal preschool educational institutions in the city of Krasnodar.

Discussion. In order to improve the efficiency of local government bodies of the Krasnodar city district on the selected assessment indicator, a set of measures aimed at improving the current situation has been suggested. These measures are universal and applicable to the majority of municipalities facing this problem.
