PROACTIVE BUDGETING AS AN ELEMENT OF THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC POLICY OF THE REGION

The article examines proactive budgeting as an element of the budget policy of the region. It is shown that the development of the creative activity of people, expressed in people’s initiative in creating a comfortable living environment, is one of the main tasks for local governments. To implement this task, financial resources are used, which make it possible to solve individual social problems on certain territories in places of compact residence. Therefore, one of the most important goals in the formation of the expenditure part of local budgets is the financial provision of social and infrastructure projects proposed by the population. The implementation of social and infrastructure projects based on the people’s initiative reflects the formation of a participatory style of territorial management. Institutionalization of social processes in the territories characterizes transformational processes in the system of distribution of public goods. The manifestation of the people’s initiative reflects a new managerial approach to the organization of the activities of local self-government bodies. For the implementation of programs based on the people’s initiative, the authors propose the following methodological recommendations: a wide coverage of territories for the promotion of ideas by citizens with limited places for the implementation of initiative budgeting projects; information support for initiative budgeting programs in regions and municipalities; the use of an Internet platform for informing on initiative budgeting programs; the implementation of a sectoral approach for the effective implementation of projects. It is necessary to use a competitive approach to the selection of various projects, to carry out priority consideration of socially significant projects, to organize meetings of participants in the initiative budgeting program. It is important to involve experts to evaluate projects and publicly review their findings.
