Issues of formation of trust mechanisms in designing socio-economic development

Abstract

Currently, due to the accelerated and widespread introduction of tools and methods of the digital economy, the implementation of socio-economic development projects is faced with a lack of trust of key actors and beneficiaries at all levels of public administration. Given the existing current trends, there are many reasons for this: imbalances of budgets at different levels, too high intensity of changes, problems with the availability or absence of competent personnel and human resources, breaks in the usual communication chains between key stakeholders in a local level. Such conditions lead to a situation where most socio-economic development projects are initiated at the national and regional levels, which is clearly not conducive to building the confidence of the main actors on the ground. As a result, the project resource, huge in its potential, remains virtually unclaimed. The issue of searching for modern mechanisms for the development of a trusting environment in the context of solving modern problems through the joint efforts of public authorities at all levels, the population and the business community is being updated. The author suggests that it is the state, when developing its policy in the field of trust, that should be based on forecasting the socio-economic situation, creating institutions of trust as regulators that meet market conditions.
