In the paper, the nature of official development assistance (ODA) viewed as a component of general international aid is considered, and mechanisms for providing aid in the context of international promotion of sustainable development are described. Also, the current world trends of providing official development assistance are highlighted, and constantly increasing amount of aid is determined. The latter demonstrates that the donor countries ensure the compliance with their international obligations related to the provision of concessional financing, and technical assistance to support the efforts that are being made by countries in the field of development.The dynamics in the amount of official development assistance is analyzed, and distribution of aid by sources of financing, regions, recipients and sectors is outlined. It is found that the largest flows of ODA go mainly to countries in Africa and Asia, and the smallest go to Europe, primarily to the education and healthcare sector, social infrastructure and economic development.It is pointed out that in Ukraine, one of the largest recipient countries of ODA in Europe, there is no holistic mechanism for analyzing the receipt, distribution and control of official development assistance viewed as an instrument of general international aid.The main challenges of mobilizing foreign assistance to Ukraine are outlined and key steps in addressing these matters are proposed. In order to promote efficient use of aid offered by foreign donors in the form of international assistance for the implementation of development programs in Ukraine, the following steps should be taken: to develop a public strategy for using international aid and a system of control for monitoring over international projects; to design a sound mechanism for analyzing the receipt, distribution and control of foreign assistance; to enhance staff performance in development, support and management of international projects in accordance with the requirements of providers of international aid; to establish a single coordinating body responsible for mobilizing international assistance.Taking these steps will increase the efficiency of using aid offered by foreign donors in the form of international assistance for the implementation of development programs and provide an opportunity to pursue sustainable development goals in Ukraine.
The concept of sustainable development is now recognized by all UN countries as one of the priorities of humanity, with a transition to national and global levels.The term "sustainable development" is increasingly used by the business community, used in corporate publications, and is featured in official political and economic documents of various levels. In recent decades, the most influential international organizations have prioritized sustainable development.The article generalizes theoretical provisions on the essence of the concept of "sustainable development", including in view of differences in the perception of socio-economic processes in different countries, the possibility of translation of the term.The evolutionary path of development of the concept of sustainable development is investigated. The substantive filling of stages of evolution of the concept is revealed. The interpretation of the conceptual components of "sustainable development" is presented and the characteristics of approaches and theories to understanding the meaning of the definition are highlighted.The concept of sustainable development involves the identification of three approaches: economic, social and environmental, reflecting their particular importance, the existence of interconnections and interdependencies, while ignoring at least one of them can undermine the overall stability of the system.The economic approach in the concept of sustainable development is based on the need for rational use of scarce resources at the disposal of society and the use of environmentally friendly methods of production and technology. An important aspect of social stability is the fair distribution of goods. The environmental component is intended to ensure the integrity of physical and biological natural systems in the process of their interaction with economic and social systems.These sustainable development components reflect a single value creation process and characterize individual aspects of human activity that reflect a single value creation process. The necessity of rational use of limited resources at the disposal of society and the use of environmentally friendly methods of production and technologies are pointed out. The importance of a clear understanding of the mechanisms of interaction between environmental, social and economic components of the concept that serve as a means of achieving development goals is determined. ; У статті узагальнено теоретичні положення щодо суті поняття «сталий розвиток», у тому числі з огляду на відмінності в сприйнятті соціально-економічних процесів у різних країнах, варіантність перекладу терміну.

The article presents a new mechanism for effective management control. In its elaboration, we relied on the concept of sustainable development (SD) with a leitmotif of strengthening moral standards and expanding the social base for improving reality; stakeholder theory with the main thesis of the coordination of public interests; system theory with a combination of factors and mechanisms of development, including economic one; as well as a historical approach that takes into account political and socio-economic conditions. The semantic connections of these theories we revealed by analysis earlier. The subject of scientific novelty is the clarification of signs (list of actions) of control, contributing to the sustainable development of enterprises, on the basis of the theories mentioned, as well as through the development of several own provisions that complement these theories. The positive potential of the proposals is due to the key principle of SD - the deep integration of social and economic issues.

Problem setting. To define the essence of the sustainable development concept is essential to analyze the problems of modern development civilizations from the standpoint of civilization theory. That problems arise on the way to transition for the principles of sustainable development both in scientifically theoretical and in practical terms.Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. Nowadays, there is no analysis of the essence of sustainable development from the standpoint of civilization theory, despite a large number of publications on this theme from other perspectives. In the primary documents of sustainable development concept and discussions about its essence, little attention is around the analysis of the regularity role of historical civilization development, which gives rise to the need for the transition to sustainable development. We consider the defining feature of the civilizational paradigm of sustainable development is the concept of civilizational development and modern humanity is as a global civilization.Paper main body. There are researches on the significance of the UN Conference on Environment and Development, held in June 1992 in Rio de Janeiro, in the formation of a new paradigm of world socio-economic development in the XXI century, aimed at solving global problems of social development in social, industrial and environmental areas. There is a well-grounded necessity of a radical change in the value factors of social progress. There is a need for the abandonment of the economic developmental model, which has been used by rich countries. Some rich countries have already stopped using it. Because in the future, this system may lead to the collapse of civilization. The necessity of changing approaches to the interaction of man and nature is a proven need. The preservation and restoration of natural systems and the use of natural resources within the biospheres economic capacity should become an essential task of socio-economic development.The necessity of developing a modern research methodology for the functioning of complex socio-economic systems that naturally combines modern scientific approaches, scientific object, and civilization paradigms is essential. Without that, it is impossible to offer an effective solution to current problems of recent socio-economic development. The UN activity was analyzed as a worldwide moderator of transition processes of the global economy to the principles of sustainable development, as reflected in the Declaration on the Right to Development and the Declaration on Social Progress which were approved by the UN General Assembly. The necessity of applying a civilizational approach to the formation of a strategy of sustainable development is substantiated. The concept of sustainable development fits perfectly into the idea of challenge-response, proposed by A. J. Toynbee. A proposition is into uniting all interpretations of sustainable development by the definition of the concept of civilizational development, given by A. Toynbee: development occurs when the response to a challenge is successful and causes a further challenge.The use of a civilizational approach in the analysis of the transition processes to sustainable development principles allows the following:– go beyond the limits of divide social communities and explore the dynamics of socio-economic development of planetary society within the time space "past – present – future";– determine the general factors of the historical development of society and their features in modern conditions in the transition to the principles of sustainable development;– explore sustainable development problems from the standpoint of systematic interaction of society and nature both in space and time.Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Society is a very complex system. It can hold many bifurcations, that give new, unpredictable directions of socio-economic development. The process of development in such systems is a historical evolution, from time to time, interrupted by crisis stages with the emergence of qualitatively new states with higher complexity and organization than at the previous fixed stage. ; Із позицій цивілізаційної теорії визначено суть концепції сталого розвитку. Виконано аналіз діяльності Організації Об'єднаних Націй (далі – ООН) як глобального модератора процесів переходу глобальної економіки на принципи сталого розвитку, що відображено у Декларації про право на розвиток і Декларації на соціальний прогрес, які були затверджені Генеральною Асамблеєю ООН. Обґрунтовано необхідність кардинальної зміни ціннісних чинників соціального розвитку. Доведено необхідність зміни підходів до взаємодії людини і природи, а важливим завданням соціально-економічного розвитку повинно стати збереження і відновлення природних систем, використання природних ресурсів у межах господарської місткості біосфери. Обґрунтовано необхідність застосування цивілізаційного підходу до формування стратегії сталого розвитку. Встановлено, що принципи сталого розвитку цілком вписуються в концепцію "виклик – відгук", запропоновану А. Тойнбі. Запропоновано об'єднати всі трактування поняття "сталий розвиток" визначенням поняття цивілізаційного розвитку, поданого А. Тойнбі: розвиток відбувається тоді, коли відгук, на той чи інший виклик є не лише успішним, а й спричиняє подальший виклик, на який знову надходить успішний відгук.

У даному дослідженні визначено, що існуючі сьогодні моделі сталого розвитку істотно не відрізняються одна від одної, водночас, вони не задовольняють умовам вирішення проблеми неоднозначності у трактуванні даного концепту та відсутності адекватно обґрунтованої парадигми сталого розвитку. А також, не враховують, принаймні наочно, описаних нами у попередніх дослідженнях, базових засад (принципів) сталого розвитку, що полягають у врахуванні поточного рівня розвитку системи, а також її екзогенного та ендогенного середовищ, – актуальності дій, їх доцільності та можливості їх сприйняття системою. Було визначено, що основною причиною відсутності адекватної єдиної моделі є відсутність виваженого, неупередженого та абсолютного тлумачення концепції "сталого розвитку". Активно тиражоване сьогодні соціоцентричне гіпертрофування є одним з видів аберацій, іманентних концепту сталого розвитку як будь-якій багатоаспектній системі, що унеможливлюють формулювання уніфікованого загальноприйнятого уявлення про нього і його імплементацію. Метою дослідження є виявлення і аналіз аберацій, властивих концепту сталого розвитку, як і будь-якій іншій складній багатокомпонентній системі, з позиції формулювання в майбутньому однозначної уніфікованої парадигми. В результаті дослідження були систематизовані наступні основні форми аберацій концепції сталого розвитку: політизація; гіпертрофування; гіперболізація; імітація; редукованість; реверсивна ефективність. У досліджені обґрунтовані деякі причини одночасної актуальності, контроверсійності і політизації концепту «сталий розвиток», з одного боку, природою яких є відсутність єдиного адекватного розуміння його сутності, а з іншого – намагання економічних агентів використати даний концепт у своїх специфічних економічних інтересах, що, почасти, є конфліктними його природі з точки зору можливого порушення стабільності системи. В викладеного вище можна припустити, що виявлення і систематизація описаних аберацій, дозволить, уникаючи їх, раціоналізувати формулювання в подальших дослідженнях уніфікованої людиноцентричної теоретико-методологічної моделі сталого розвитку, а також, актуалізувати існуючі цілі сталого розвитку. ; Given study determinates, that existing today sustainable development models do not differ significantly, at the same time, they do not satisfy the conditions for solving the problem of ambiguity in formulation and lack of substantiation of the sustainable development paradigm. Those models as well, do not take into account, at least demonstrably, basic grounds (principles) of sustainable development, formulated by us in previous studies, that consist in taking into account the current level of development of the system, and its endogenous and exogenous environment, - the relevance of actions, their expediency and possibility of their perception by the subjected system. It was determined, that the main reason for the absence of an adequate unified model is the lack of the "sustainable development" concept reasonable, unbiased and absolute interpretation. Actively introduced today sociocentric hypertrophy is one of the types of aberrations, that are imminent to a concept of sustainable development as any other multifaceted system, that makes it impossible to formulate a unified conventional idea of it and, thus provide its implementation. The aim of the study is to identify and analyze the aberrations inherent in the concept of sustainable development, as well as any other complex multicomponent system, from the standpoint of formulating in the future a unique unified paradigm. The main forms of aberrations of the sustainable development concept are systematized as following: politicization; hypertrophy; hyperbolization; imitation; reduceness; reversible efficiency. The study substantiates several reasons for the simultaneous relevance, controversy and politicization of the "sustainable development" concept: on the one hand, the nature of them is manifested in the absence of a single adequate understanding of concept's essence, and on the other – the attempts of economic agents to use this concept in their specific economic interests, which, in part, are conflict with its nature from the point of view of the possible impairment and violation of the system's stability. As the result, it can be assumed, that the detection and systematization of the described aberrations will allow avoiding them in subsequent studies, while rationalizing the formulation of a unified human-centric theoretical and methodological model of sustainable development, as well as update existing goals of sustainable development.
The purpose of writing the article is presenting the results of the study of theoretical and methodological aspects of the development of the stages of strategy of sustainable development of an industrial enterprise and determining main directions of this development. The research was performed using the methods of synthesis and analysis, deduction and induction. The essence of the concept of strategy of sustainable development of an enterprise and its components was revealed. The strategy for sustainable development is proposed to be considered in two aspects: economic and social. It was established that an enterprise enters new levels of competitive management and the operational effect of synergy occurs. It was proven that the formation of development of an enterprise should be based on synergetic harmony with the terms and objectives of the enterprise as a whole and with each functional unit. Main stages of formation and implementation of the strategy of sustainable development of an industrial enterprise were characterized. The paper considered the specificity of defining strategic position, formulating an enterprise development strategy, identifying opportunities and peculiarities of application of an express test for the actual financial state, allowing detecting signs of imbalance at the enterprise without significant calculations for the diagnosis of the actual financial status. In order to ensure prompt and unbiased testing of the actual financial state, it is advisable to restore the practice of social certification in the industry. It was proven that an important aspect in the formation and implementation of balanced development strategy is the development of the concept of sustainable strategic management of industrial enterprises. The concept allows establishing methodological bases of management principles and methodological bases of management technologies and tools for individual companies. It was established that the strategy of sustainable development of industrial enterprises should be based on a long–term program of sustainable development, which is a strategic document that contains a number of steps, coordinated in space and time, to engage resources. It was proven that the implementation of a balanced strategy of development involves purposeful improvement of economic, organizational, technical, technological, production, market, social, administrative, environmental and other components of the system. Transformations that occur in the course of implementing the strategy under the influence of external factors acquire new quality, both economic efficiency and competitiveness of the enterprise in the market increase. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the development of the concept of strategic management of the balanced development of an industrial enterprise based on purposeful improvement of economic, organizational, technical, technological, production, market, social, administrative, environmental and other components of the system, which collectively provide a synergistic effect. The practical significance of the work is in the possibility to form and implement a strategy of sustainable development of an industrial enterprise as an efficient system of management, which will provide for a timely forecasting of purposeful and gradual improvement of economic, organizational, technical and technological, production, social, administrative, market, environmental and other components of this system, which will acquire new qualities during the process of implementation of the novelties.
With the accelerated globalization processes, the strength of connection between agricultural production and rural territories is growing; the ratio is changing in the structure of institutions of influence towards financial provision of balanced economic, social and environmental development of this complex systemic formation. Despite the growing interest in research papers to the issues of financing agriculture, an analysis of institutional foundations for the provision of financing the sustainable development, which take into account the multifaceted nature of institutional mechanisms of its implementation in the agricultural sector, is limited. The aim of present work is to substantiate theoretical-methodological and applied principles of institutional provision of financing the sustainable development of agrarian sector in Ukraine. We defined key approaches to the formation of institutional provision of financing the sustainable development of agrarian sector. We believe that the institutional provision of financing the sustainable development of agrarian sector is a set of socio-economic, organizational and legislative measures of state authorities and entities (collectively, public and private institutions) in the field of financial relations that form necessary legal, organizational and economic conditions for effective engagement, accumulation and application of financial resources in order to achieve a planned dynamic social-ecological-economic effect. The components of institutional provision of financing the sustainable development of agrarian sector are presented. We analyzed the status of agricultural sector in Ukraine over 2000-2013 and evaluated the tightness of relationship between the volumes of investments and the level of development of national economy (GDP) and agricultural sector (agriculture DP). It was revealed that the growth of investment in fixed capital by UAH 1 million contributed to the GDP growth of national economy in Ukraine by UAH 60.9 million. At the same time, an increase in ...
Problem setting. The progressive digitalization of all spheres of life and their confident transition to fundamentally new forms of functioning and interaction between economic entities, public administration and international relations is based on digital tools that allow using digital technologies in the digitalization of the national economy. However, the experience of their application and effective use is insufficient in comparison with developed countries, so to ensure sustainable development of society, it is necessary to thoroughly and comprehensively study the features of digital tools and their use in government and to objectively assess the prospects of digitalization in all spheres of life in modern Ukraine.Recent research and publications analysis. The issue of digitalization and the increasing use of digital technologies is present in the research of many specialists. In particular, it is necessary to note significant achievements in this field of such scientists as V.Apalkova, O.Bernaziuk, S.Vereteniuk, N.Hrytsiak, N.Deieva, A.Dobrynin, N.Drahomyretska, O.Yemelyanenko, T.Kaminska, A.Kaminskyi, G.Karcheva, O.Kachnyi , S.Koliadenko, N.Kraus, V.Kuibida, S.Kutsenko, D.Layon, I.Lopushynskyi, V.Liashenko, A.Maslov, V.Nikolaev, V.Pysarenko, A.Semenchenko, K.Semiachkov, S. Chukut and many others. However, there is a necessity for complex research, which concern the use of digital tools for ensuring sustainable development.Previously unsettled parts of the general problem. The article aimed at substantiating the directions of intensification of the use of digital tools for ensuring sustainable development in Ukraine basing on the studies of features of the usage of digital tools, the analysis of its use in various fields at the present stage of the development of our state. Paper main body. The conceptual approach to understanding the essence of sustainable development makes it possible to consider this concept as "development that meets the needs of the current generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." The answer to public demands is given by the Sustainable Development Goals, offering a new vision of economic growth of states and new values.In the context of the needs of today's development and the implications for future generations, we need to look at the digital economy and the increasing use of digital tools. Digitalization can not only solve today's problems but also generate new ones, the consequences of which may be felt by the next generation in the case of inefficient use of digital technologies. In the world, digitalization processes have significantly accelerated after quarantine and affected not only developed countries but also Ukraine and other developing countries. They relate to all spheres of public life, in particular, to the interaction of citizens with public authorities.In Ukraine, the introduction of digital tools in the work of state and municipal authorities has not become as widespread as abroad, but it is worth noting some steps in this direction. The following digital tools for interaction between the government and communities are already in force or will be implemented in the nearest future: for the government – feedback from the community population; involvement of people into the managerial process. For adult residents of communities – Centres for providing administrative services, which work as centres of "Action"; consulting zones for entrepreneurs; online population survey; local chatbots. For students and schoolchildren – the opportunity to get an IT profession online; career guidance online courses; electronic magazines.Along with public authorities, digitalization processes have confidently entered the business sphere, and this has become especially noticeable in the conditions of quarantine, according to which many employees were forced to switch to remote work. Digital tools allow businesses to adapt to new realities and build relationships between employees, customers and partners on a fundamentally new basis. They help to automate routine processes and business, and also to redirect free resources in the direction of finding new ideas for business development.Digitalization has also affected the scientific sphere – today it is difficult for the average scientist to imagine his work without the use of, for example, Google tools, in particular, such as Google Cloud Platform, Google Academy, etc. Thanks to them, it is possible to conduct comprehensive research and publish their results. And the use of such specialized digital tools for scientists as Google Public Data, Dataset Search and Google Data Studio makes it possible to work effectively with data sets.Along with the scientific sphere, digitalization is closely connected with the educational field. Responding to the quarantine requirements for distance learning, the State Education Quality Service of Ukraine has introduced the following distance forms: the study of practical experience of work of participants in the certification of pedagogical staff; conducting institutional audits of general secondary education institutions.Areas of intensification of the use of digital tools to ensure sustainable development are regulatory, organizational-managerial, labour, competency-based, project, infrastructure and international. The development of digitalization and the introduction of digital tools in social processes have become inevitable, so it is necessary to ensure the implementation of digitalization procedures with maximum effect.Conclusions and prospects for further studies. Digital tools can be defined as a tool, a mean to improve communication between individuals and legal entities and the state through digital technologies and online communications. In the direction for ensuring the sustainable development of society, digital tools are essential tools that minimize resource costs, which allows you to redirect their use in a more constructive direction and, if possible, to preserve the resource potential for future generations. ; Розглянуто особливості використання цифрових інструментів відповідно до потреб забезпечення сталого розвитку в суспільстві.

The aim of present work is to substantiate theoretical-methodological and applied principles of institutional provision of financing the sustainable development of agrarian sector in Ukraine. We defined key approaches to the formation of institutional provision of financing the sustainable development of agrarian sector. We believe that the institutional provision of financing the sustainable development of agrarian sector is a set of socio-economic, organizational and legislative measures of state authorities and entities (collectively, public and private institutions) in the field of financial relations that form necessary legal, organizational and economic conditions for effective engagement, accumulation and application of financial resources in order to achieve a planned dynamic social-ecological-economic effect. The components of institutional provision of financing the sustainable development of agrarian sector are presented. We analyzed the status of agricultural sector in Ukraine over 2000-2013 and evaluated the tightness of relationship between the volumes of investments and the level of development of national economy (GDP) and agricultural sector (agriculture DP). It was revealed that the growth of investment in fixed capital by UAH 1 million contributed to the GDP growth of national economy in Ukraine by UAH 60.9 million. At the same time, an increase in investments in the main capital of agriculture by UAH 1 million predetermined the increase in the gross production of agriculture by UAH 7.9 million. The sources of financing agricultural sector that are closely related to the development of agricultural sector (correlation coefficient is equal to 0.94) include foreign direct investments, but they do not exert significant impact on the growth of gross agricultural product (growth by USD 1 million stimulated increase by UAH 0.14 million). In the agricultural sector, investment activities of both domestic and foreign investors remain secondary; the amount of invested resources does not meet required volumes. We proposed to create an innovative-oriented cluster of agricultural sector, to improve credit mechanism and the mechanism of state regulation in the context of sustainable development. The value of present research consists in determining the tightness of connection between the amounts of investment provision and the level of development of national economy (GDP) and agricultural sector (agriculture DP). Practical use of recommendations, proposed in present work, on updating the draft Concept of the "State program for sustainable rural development in Ukraine through 2025" will make it possible to optimize financial mechanism of state support for sustainable development of agrarian sector in Ukraine. A promising direction of research is the study and assessment of the possibility to apply foreign experience in the optimization of components of institutional provision for financing the sustainable development of agrarian sector in Ukraine.
The subject of research is the compliance of the measures of financial decentralization in Ukraine with the principles of sustainable development of territories (settlements, regions, regions). The purpose of the article is to identify and review the main measures of financial decentralization in Ukraine in the context of sustainable development of territories. The methodology of the work includes the use of theoretical analysis to form the scientific and practical principles of financial decentralization and sustainable development of territories, elements of the imperative method – to determine the adequacy of legislative provision of measures for financial decentralization, economic diagnosis – for assessing the effectiveness of measures for financial decentralization, the method of forecasting – to establish opportunities for implementation of programs and projects of sustainable development of territories. The results of the work. The theoretical principles of financial decentralization and sustainable development of territories are found out. The main measures of financial decentralization in Ukraine in the context of sustainable development of the territories are identified and analyzed. The ways of strengthening of the financial and economic base of the united territorial communities, regions and regions are grounded on the basis of intensification of innovation and investment activity on the basis of smart specialization, which will promote implementation of programs and projects of sustainable development. Conclusions. The main financial measures that are being implemented in Ukraine open up broad prospects for the sustainable development of territories of different levels. At the same time, it is very important that the main emphasis should be placed not on the redistribution of powers and financial resources between the center and the territories, but on strengthening their financial and economic base on the basis of intensification of innovation and investment activity.
