Abstract
The modern management concepts are oriented to raising the public bodies’ accountability to the society. In the meantime the development of tools for the assessment of state activity is becoming up-to-date. Public administration is the central sector in the public administration system as it particularly provides the implementation of public policy in all the spheres. That’s why the development of objective assessment indices of public administration efficiency measures up the goals of the modern reforming stage. Some approaches to defining the concept of efficiency and assessment methods of state efficiency are analyzed in the article; it’s summed up that there are a lot of approaches to the efficiency assessment of regional administrations and separate federal government agencies activity. They are based on empirical data quantity analysis. The Russian legislation has all the grounds for the assessment of public administration efficiency, but the application tools haven’t been currently implemented. The indicators choice is justified which characterizes the public administration efficiency from its internal development point of view and its final social and economic effect from its functioning. The methodology of defining the common assessment index of public administration efficiency is suggested which is aimed at denoting the milestones for the further public administration reforming taking into account the historical experience and mistakes. The important advantage of the suggested common index is its calculation simplicity for different periods of time.
