Problem setting. Effective public administration of regional development is essential for raising the living standards of citizens. In modern conditions, new requirements are put forward to the system of regional management. In addition, the limited resources available for this, as well as the novelty and complexity of socio-economic problems, force us to focus on new factors in the effectiveness of public administration of regional development. A significant part of the problems in this context are related to legal regulation, financing, staffing, the interaction of public and private sectors, the use of new management technologies, information and analytical support. Although all types of support to public administration are important and interconnected, but the information and analytical support allows us to determine the appropriate mechanisms and how they are used to achieve goals, what factors of regional development to focus on. Therefore, the quality of information and analytical provision is an important prerequisite for the effectiveness of the entire system of regional development administration. Recent research and publications analysis. The works of foreign and Ukrainian scientists are devoted to theoretical and practical problems of information and analytical support to public administration. V. Averyanov, V. Bakumenko, M. Volkova, D. Dzvinchuk, A. Degtyar, O. Karpenko, V. Kuybida, A. Semenchenko, Yu. Surmin and others made a significant contribution to the research. Thus, the works of V. Bakumenko and A. Degtyar are devoted to public administration decisions and factors of their effectiveness, including their information and analytical support. Mechanisms of information-analytical support of public administration bodies were studied by V. Averyanov, V. Kuybida, O. Karpenko. Furthermore, the author also relies on the research by S. Bila, S. Chernov, N. Černiauskienė on the factors of public administration efficiency. As for public administration of regional development, its economic component was studied by M. Volkova, but the issue of its good information and analytical support has not been disclosed by scholars and requires thorough research. Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. Efficiency and effectiveness, feedback, openness and transparency, accountability are the principles of good governance at the local level among others, abidance with which is possible only if they are provided with information and analytical support. Considering this, the purpose of the article is to determine the components of good information and analytical support to public administration of regional development. Paper main body. Information and analytical support to public administration of regional development includes the use of a set of interconnected methods, measures and tools by which the technologies of collection, selection, transmission, transformation, storage and display of information on the current state, forecasts and development goals of various spheres of life in the region are implemented to make  public administration effective. Assessing whether public administration in Ukraine is effective, scholars and practitioners note that the direct results of administrative work are difficult to quantify, and therefore it is expedient to use indirect indicators, in particular through the assessment of the management system and its elements. Consequently the good quality of information and analytical support to public administration is a transversal factor, which depends on the effectiveness of each individual element, and their interaction, and the effectiveness of the administration system in general. Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Good information and analytical support to public administration of regional development means complying the requirements for making the most effective and adequate administrative decisions. Such support should be provided on a systematic basis, which includes the identification of all its important components  institutional, research, resource and financial, competence, technological and organizational, as was done in this study. Each of these components has its own semantic characteristics and can be used as criteria and a lever for the effectiveness of the system of good information and analytical support to public administration of regional development in the process of building such a system. In this context, it is expedient to study the relevant foreign experience, in particular of the European Union, and it is a subject to further research.

Integrated Indicators

This article examines the main generally accepted indicators for assessing certain aspects of public administration, which are used in international practice. The study of these indicators will provide a general description of the quality of the existing system of public administration and the effectiveness and efficiency of its operation, as well as reflect the existing features of socio-political life and economic policy implemented in the country by public (primarily and largely public) government and administration. The authors selected integrated indicators of public administration for 6 countries for the period from 2012 to 2019. A comparative analysis of these indicators was conducted using benchmarking tools in some EU countries. The results of the study will allow a comparative analysis of trends in performance and professional and personal development of civil servants in some EU countries, identify factors influencing these indicators and understand how they can be improved, find strategies and practices that helped achieve the highest efficiency, study the experience of others countries that have already made changes that are relevant to us today. This, in turn, will allow to focus on achieving a specific goal, which outlines the ways of development of public administration and its individual mechanisms, to constantly monitor the level of its achievement, highlight existing problems, suggest ways to solve them, reform management levels and improve the efficiency of the entire public administration system. At the same time, the evaluation of performance results allows to record deviations from the planned course and to introduce appropriate corrective measures. It is established that in most countries there are changes that are accompanied by: - freeing up more resources in poor countries in order to improve socio-economic development; - reducing corruption and increasing control; - increasing the responsibility of civil servants to meet the needs of citizens, which is a key element in achieving prosperity. - the use of ICT to improve the quality of public services. There is currently no single system of public administration in the European Union. Economic, social, political and cultural aspects of each country, as well as time requirements and challenges form its characteristics. However, some generally accepted rules and principles are the same for all. The use of foreign experience of public administration will accelerate the process of successful reform of the functioning system of public administration in Ukraine and accelerate the achievement of the level of European countries, to which Ukraine is equal in its development. It should also be emphasized that to date in Ukraine a fairly limited number of integrated indicators are used to assess the effectiveness of the civil service, and our country is not included in all international rankings. It is recommended to develop evaluation systems at the national level that take into account the main temporal and regional features. The problematic aspects mentioned in the article significantly depend on the external environment, so their solution is directly related to the prospect of developing democratic principles of civil service control in Ukraine, taking into account the state of democratic processes in the civil service and civil service relations with the public.

Rules Of The Game

Law and public administration schools in Russia vastly exceed in their popularity sciences and engineering. We relate such lopsided demand for higher education to the quality of institutions setting “rules of the game” in economy and society. Cross-country and Russian interregional data indicate the quality of institutions (rule of law, protection of property rights etc.) is negatively associated with the demand for education in law, and positively — in sciences and engineering. More gifted younger people are particularly sensitive to the quality of institutions in choosing their fields of study, and such selection is an important transmission channel between institutions and economic growth.

The article studies the main stages and features of the evolution of the public administration system in the Republic of Estonia after 1992. This paper presents brief geographical and socio-economic characteristics that largely determine the development of the country’s public administration. The evolution of the institution of the presidency, executive, and legislative powers are considered. The role of parliament and mechanisms for coordinating the interests of different groups of the population for the development of the country is especially emphasized. The authors analyze the state and administrative reforms of recent years, which were aimed at improving the quality of services provided to the population, increasing the competitiveness of different parts of Estonia, as well as optimizing public spending and management structure. The introduction of digital technologies into the sphere of public administration, healthcare, education, and the social sphere is of a notable place. Such phenomena as e-residency, e-federation, and other digital projects are considered. The development of a digital system of interstate interaction between Estonia and Finland made it possible to create the world’s first e-federation, and the digitization of all strategically important information and its transfer to cloud storage speaks of the creation of the world’s first e-residency, a special residence of data outside the country’s borders to ensure digital continuity and statehood in the event of critical malfunctions or external threats.

The article is devoted to the review of current changes in the legislation on notaries related to the development of electronic civil circulation, analysis of existing digital risks and assessment of the role of notaries in combating them. In modern economic realities, a significant expansion of the sphere of competence of the notary is carried out by introducing completely new notarial actions into the scope of the notary’s terms of reference. At the same time, the notary does not just follow the general ‘digital’ trend, but independently makes significant efforts to effectively perform the tasks of the social sphere regulator assigned to it by the state. The creation of the Unified Notary Information System as part of the formation of the technological infrastructure to ensure the security and stability of legal relations in the context of electronic civil circulation takes to a new level the quality of notarial services and the security of legally relevant information. The role of notaries significantly increases in conditions when the use of digital technologies in the economy, public administration, social sphere becomes one of the main vectors of world development, and society and the state inevitably face the flip side of this process – digital risks that jeopardize the safety of participants in civil turnover and their property. In 2020, as part of the implementation of the national program ‘Digital Economy’, it is planned to introduce a number of innovations that will create the basis for a stable and secure ‘digital’ turnover.

This article highlights four key reform challenges regarding the quality of public administration and governance (PAG), aimed at increasing ‘SDG-readiness’ at all levels of administration, in a nexus characterized by complexity, volatility, pluriformity and uncertainty. Based on others’ research into how EU Member States institutionalize the implementation of the SDGs, a critical review of SDG-governance approaches, as well as a review paper on the management of the SDGs, it is concluded that that four priority areas could guide research and policy development to accelerate implementation of the 2030 Agenda. Firstly, to recognize that creating an effective public administration and governance is an important strategic policy area. Secondly, to begin with mission-oriented public administration and governance reform for SDG implementation, replacing the efficiency-driven public sector reform of the past decades. Thirdly, to apply culturally sensitive metagovernance to design, define and manage trade-offs and achieving synergies between SDGs and their targets. Fourthly, to start concerted efforts to improve policy coherence with a mindset beyond political, institutional, and mental ‘silos’.
