Target models for business procedure streamlining

Target model is a set of mandatory targets (terms, cost, number of procedures, etc.) for key areas of the investment climate. It consists of:

• factors (what can be used to achieve improvement);

• indicators (specific measures describing how to implement them);

• target values (specific values that need to be achieved in the region).

The instruction of the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin is the basis for the development and implementation of target models in the subjects of the Russian Federation. The target models were approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 147-r dated January 31, 2017.

Successful regional practices determined by the results of the National Rating of the investment climate were the basis of the development.

Target models were developed by working groups with the participation of representatives of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives, relevant federal ministries, business associations, entrepreneurs in the following areas:

1. Obtaining a building permit and spatial planning;

2. Registration of ownership rights to land plots and real estate objects;

3. Cadastral registration of land plots and real estate objects;

4. Implementation of control and supervisory activities in the subjects of the Russian Federation;

5. Support for small and medium-sized businesses;

6. Connection to electrical networks;

7. Connection to gas distribution networks;

8. Connection to heat supply systems, water supply and sanitation systems.

Implementation mechanism in the region:

Regional project offices have been established in each region, which include representatives of regional executive authorities and local self-government, as well as resource-supplying organizations. Objectives:

• problem areas identification and region profile formation;

• regional roadmaps development and approval.

The results of the program are entered into the Region-ID system, which allows the participants of the process to interact in real time — to exchange documents, to record and evaluate results, etc.

In each region of the country, the Agency for Strategic Initiatives, with the support of leading business associations (OPORA Russia, Delovaya Rossiya, RUIE and RF CCI), has formed regional expert groups from among entrepreneurs and representatives of business associations.

Objectives:

• assessment of target models implementation degree in the territory of the subject of the Russian Federation and providing feedback on the results achieved in the region;

• identification of actual problems, problems that have arisen during the implementation of target models;

• suggestion of ways to solve them.

The role of the relevant federal executive authorities:

• monitoring the implementation of target models in the regions;

• checking the information of the regions and evaluating the results achieved (with the possibility of adjusting the values taking into account federal and departmental statistics).

Federal working groups formed under the relevant federal executive authorities:

• form recommendations for target models implementation;

• monitor and evaluate the results of target models implementation;

• identify best regional practices and solve systemic problems that arise during the implementation of target models in the regions.

The role of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives:

• coordinating the activities of regional project offices and form regional expert groups;

• providing methodological and informational support;

• forming proposals for adjusting target models;

• providing technical support for the Region-ID information system.
