Optimizing Provision Management for Socially Oriented Non-Profit Organizations in Russia
Abstract
The article discusses the current state of the sector of socially oriented non-profit organizations (SONPO) of the Russian Federation in the context of federal districts. There is an asymmetry in the distribution of resources, which entails a significant backlog of some federal districts in terms of SONPO development. The formation of a mechanism for interaction between the state, society, business and socially oriented non-profit organizations is considered as a key measure for optimizing the financial and property support of SONPO activities. The proposed mechanism is based on the creation of special funds in each of the Russian regions to ensure the activities of socially oriented non-profit organizations.

On The Working Practices of the International Development Association in the Post-Soviet States of Central Asia
Abstract
Created to provide financial support to poor countries, the International Development Association (IDA) has been investing heavily in the countries of the Central Asia, especially in Uzbekistan. An analysis of the working practices of the IDA over the past three decades in the region shows that experts often overestimate the ability of Central Asian governments to implement planned transformations and enter the trajectory of sustainable and inclusive growth. The reasons for the low efficiency of IDA-funded projects and programs are often institutional difficulties arising from the poor quality of public administration. Up to mid-2000s, a number of failures took place to achieve the goals stated in projects and programs due to errors made by IDA experts when structuring transactions.
