DELEGATION OF POWERS BETWEEN PUBLIC AUTHORITIES: MODERN INSTRUMENTS

The article is devoted to substantiation of existing shortcomings in the mechanisms of delegation of powers between public authorities and local governments in Ukraine and the development of proposals for tools to improve them based on the analysis of foreign experience. Delegation mechanisms in Ukraine are imperfect, which is accompanied by problems such as legal conflicts, duplication of functions of local governments and local executive authorities at various levels, reduced financial self- sufficiency of local governments, imbalance of powers, which ultimately leads to increased corruption risks and reduced quality of provision. public services to the population. To confirm the imbalance of delegated powers of local governments, the calculation of the "vertical imbalance" of local budgets is used as a share of transfers from the state budget in the total local budget revenues. The article suggests ways to solve the problems of delegation of powers between public authorities and local governments in Ukraine is possible, in particular through the introduction of tools tested by positive foreign experience. Among such tools is the development of a single law on delegated powers, which will regulate the procedure and conditions for delegating powers to public authorities, local governments and their officials, in particular, the proposed structure of such a law by sections. It is also proposed to apply the practice of municipal contracts and outsourcing to increase the efficiency of management processes during the delegation of powers, and to follow the Carlton principle when delegating powers between government officials. The basic principles of delegation of powers, and also elements of the municipal contract are defined. Peculiarities of indirect delegation of powers (subdelegation) as one of the complex but successful trends in foreign practice of public administration are given.
