Abstract: The research compares the new model of state programmes management in the Russian Federation with the previous one, identifies its advantages and disadvantages and attempts to forecast the avenues for further transformation of programme planning. Methodologically, the study rests on the theories of economic regulation and public administration. The research methods are comparative economic-legal, factor and system analysis, economic and statistical methods for studying time series. The paper analyses the dynamics of statistical indicators used to assess the RF state programmes’ effectiveness amid the key events in the development of programme planning in 2013–2020. The current state programmes regulations are tested for compliance with the basic theories of economic regulation (neoinstitutional, neo-Keynesian, neo-monetary) and public administration (Weberian, New Public Management, Good Governance). The study reveals the unfulfilled potential of state programmes management which necessitated a new model to be developed. The author proves that economically the model equally gravitates towards the neoinstitutional and neo-Keynesian paradigms, and managerially – towards the Weberian and managerial ones. The model’s major advantages are orientation to achieving national development goals; a connection with the budgetary process and the ability to plan expenditures for a period longer than one budget cycle; and the emphasis on the integration between information systems and e-data exchange. At the same time, only half of the recommendations formulated after past programmes evaluation were reflected in the new regulation. Programme planning remains a bureaucratic way of budget expenditures with costs inherent in it. Focusing on the paradigm that best reflects strategic priorities will enhance the effectiveness of the programme management model.
