PROJECT MANAGEMENT TOOLS FOR THE EFFICIENT USE OF RESOURCES IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR

Abstract

The relevance of this research lies in the necessity of applying strategies to increase the efficiency of resource usage in the public sector. One of these strategies is project management. Project management implies the development and implementation of projects which are time- and resource-limited. A project has distinct targets, task decomposition, and certain measures of success (targets to be achieved). In public management, projects are often implemented to manage investments and to achieve a high social impact considering the conservation of resources. Projects are also executed to accommodate strategic planning in the development of specific branches and sectors. The objective of this research is the evaluation of project management in order to increase the efficiency of resource use in the Republic of Kazakhstan. To achieve the objective, the general principles of the project management approach as a tool for increasing the efficiency of resource usage in public management are given consideration, and the implementation of the project management approach in strategic planning and public-private partnership is assessed.
