Abstract

The article is devoted to the generalization of the experience in formation of regional anti-corruption programs and the identification of the features of their implementation in practice. Also the problem of correlation of regional programs and anticorruption activity of local self-government bodies is considered. It is shown that at the municipal level the methods and directions for counteracting corruption are similar to those used by the authorities at the regional level. Both negative and positive consequences of a joint application of regional and municipal anti-corruption programs were investigated. The main directions, organizational problems of implementation of regional anti-corruption programs, peculiarities of personnel work in the framework of counteraction to corruption at the regional and local levels are determined. The article also highlights such major problem areas of counteracting corruption in the frame of personnel work in the system of state and municipal service, as 1) anti-corruption declaration; 2) solving the problem of conflicts of interest in the system of state and municipal service; 3) introduction of anticorruption standards into the anti-corruption system. Based on the analysis of the practice of implementing anti-corruption programs at the regional and local levels, the author of the article proves that further improvement is needed in the direction of systematization and institutionalization, more coherent coordination of anti-corruption activities between the levels of the subjects of the Russian Federation and local self-government bodies, as well as the implementation of system-wide measures laid by the federal legislation
