Efficiency of local self-government authorities and sustainability of rural territories
Abstract: In the article, through the prism of the effectiveness of local self-government activities, the issues of sustainable development of rural areas are considered. The legal and regulatory instruments regulating legal, organizational, economic, and social relations in the field of sustainable development of rural areas and the development of local self-government in the country have been studied. An analysis was made by implementing the main indicators of the Development of the Akmola Region Territory Program for 2016–2020. The forecast of budgetary parameters of cities of district significance, villages, towns, rural districts of the Akmola region for the planning period (2021–2024) is presented. Measures are proposed to achieve the forecast values of the budgetary parameters of cities of district significance, villages, settlements, rural districts of the Akmola region for the planning period. The analysis revealed that the further development of rural areas is impossible without effective action and an increase in the economic independence of local self-government. The degree of influence of the effectiveness of the activities of local governments on the sustainability of the development of rural areas is determined. It is proposed to consider the degree of provision of rustic budget expenditures with their own income when determining the effectiveness of the activities of local self-government authorities.
