Abstract

The reasons for non- fulfilment of state social and economic programs are considered in the article. They have being estimated by the executive power as large-scale reforming modernization projects during 25 years of independence of Ukraine. The reasons of the low level of scientific validity of state programs, absence of system analysis as a mechanism of state management of social and economic programs, and the reluctance of the authorities to solve the problems of social and economic development on the basis of extrapolation have been identified. In order to contribute to the formation of critical thinking in the development of programs, the analysis of the "Program of Economic Reforms for 2010 – 2014" has been carried out. Its main ideas are as the following: the prosperous society, the competitive economy, the effective state. Considering the unsatisfactory state of implementation of state programs, the new mechanisms for their development and analysis, as well as the application of the recommendations of the UN experts have been introduced.
