Problem setting. The key task of the state is the harmonization of regional, inter-regional and national interests, taking into account the positive world practice. This approach foresees, first of all, the introduction of the principle of subsidiarity, equal rights and responsibility of the center and regions for the socio-economic development of the country. Given the current realities, the need to develop an effective public regional policy by building a transparent system of public administration, creating a viable professional civil service institute, moving away from a centralized model of government in the state, ensuring the capacity of local self-government and building an effective system of territorial organization of government are actualized.Recent research and publications analysis. In scientific works of Ukrainian scientists are investigated methodological, economic, legal bases of the state policy of regional development, the problematic aspects of its formation and realization are analyzed.Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problems Despite the interest of scientists in this field, concretization and thorough analysis require the development of effective mechanisms for implementation of state regional development policy, substantiation of directions for optimization of regional policy through the implementation of strategic planning practices, etc.Paper main body. According to the defined normative principles, the implementation of public regional policy is carried out on the basis of a system of interrelated documents, including, in particular, the Sustainable Development Strategy "Ukraine 2020", the State Strategy for Regional Development of Ukraine; Plan of measures for implementation of the State Strategy for Regional Development of Ukraine regional development strategies; action plans for implementing regional development strategies; investment programs (projects) aimed at regional development.Public regional development policy should be based on a clear and well-defined definition of priorities and strategies for regional development; increasing the effectiveness of state support mechanisms; promotion of cross-border and inter-regional links; infrastructure development; training of regional development specialists; stimulating the development of depressed regions through the mechanisms of budgetary, tax, price, monetary, innovation and investment policies; formation of the financial base of regional authorities; introduction of territorial tax capacity coefficients; encouraging savings for shaping the investment potential of the regions.The main directions of state support of socio-economic development of regions are: development and implementation of programs of state support of socio-economic development of individual regions and territories; implementation of sectoral programs, which provide for the allocation of funds for the support of designated territories and social protection of their population; regulation of intergovernmental relations.Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Public regional policy must be, above all, development policy. With this in mind, priority is given to the development of measures and instruments aimed not at directly addressing social problems but at unlocking the economic potential of territories, increasing their productivity, local business profitability and income levels. This will, in turn, create the conditions for an overall increase in social standards, quality of life and improvement of the business environment.Improvement of public policy mechanisms for regional development should be achieved by stimulating and supporting local initiatives to make effective use of the regions' internal potential; formation of competitiveness of regions; optimizing the practice of promoting interregional integration; the use of effective tools to represent the interests of regions (territorial communities) at the national level. ; Розглянуто сутність та принципи регіональної політики як ключової складової політики держави.

Розглянуто особливості залучення та використання міжнародної технічної допомоги як важливого ресурсу для впровадження якісних змін у всіх сферах суспільного життя в Україні. Проаналізовано чинну нормативно-правову базу, що визначає організаційно-правовий механізм залучення та використання ресурсів міжнародних донорів. Висвітлено узагальнені статистичні показники залучення міжнародної технічної допомоги. ; Problem setting. The resources of international donors are an important external tool used by the state to address the critical issues in terms of qualitative changes in society. Assistance provided by donors in the framework of international technical assistance projects (ITA) is an effective tool for institutional transformations and international integration, an important source of resource support for reforms and development programs of the state. However, the imperfection of the current legal framework regulating the issue of the attraction and use of the ITA in Ukraine, as well as inadequate organizational support of the relevant processes by the authorized state bodies, does not contribute to the qualitative planning, obtaining and development of the resources provided in the framework of the ITA projects.Recent research and publications analysis. The scientific publications reflect the results of research of the separate economic, legal, methodological foundations of the ITA attraction, the essence and impact of assistance from the international community on the recipient countries in general and on the reform of the socio-economic sphere of Ukraine in particular. Other publications of scientists are devoted to the research of the basic principles of foreign assistance in the priority system of foreign policy of individual countries, the role of international assistance in implementing the concept of sustainable development.Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problems. Issues related to the effective use of Ukrainian potential in attracting and mastering the ITA, its impact on socio-political transformations and socio-economic development of the country remain inadequately investigated. The purpose of the article is to analyze the state of attracting the ITA in Ukraine at the present stage, to identify the problems and to justify recommendations aimed at increasing the efficiency of the attraction and use of the ITA.Paper main body. The effective legal and regulatory framework, which determines the organizational and legal mechanism for attracting and using resources of international donors, has been analyzed. The statistical indicators of the ITA attraction have been generalized. The ITA projects have been determined to be different in terms of funding and types of the work performed: from consulting, expert estimations, exchange and training in various sectors of economy to wide support of the Government in the activities in the implementation of large-scale projects with substantial technical components.A review of the technical assistance from donor countries and international organizations has shown that this assistance meets the priorities of each country. The set of priorities may be both wide (US), and somewhat narrower than in several other countries. However, even those countries which finance a relatively smaller number of the ITA projects in Ukraine, direct this assistance in various fields. At the same time there is a duplication of assistance when several of the most popular fields receive the attention and support from many donors, while others remain outside the attention of the international community. Therefore, the coordination between different donors needs to be improved. For this purpose, the existing limitations in the institutional capacity of beneficiaries that do not allow the effective use of assistance, should be taken into account.Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. In the modern system of public administration of Ukraine, the ITA is an important external resource used by the state to introduce qualitative changes in all spheres of public life. Within the framework of the ITA projects, the services of experts providing expert support to the work of a public authority or other organization are paid for, and such services may include, among others: assistance in the development of regulatory acts, internal procedures and policies, preparation of analytics and research. The donor is entirely or predominantly liable for the financial and material part of the project, and this, given the lack of medium-term budget planning, the lack of capacity of the authorities to implement the changes, and the lack of the ability to attract professional external experts from the budget, is positive for domestic beneficiaries. At the same time, for improving the effectiveness of the ITA implementation should eliminate the legal and organizational gaps contradicting the requirements of the current legislation in determining the beneficiary and his participation in the engagement, and the use and monitoring of the ITA, harmonization proposals submitted by potential beneficiaries to attract the ITA with programs of economic and social development, to update the strategy for the attraction and use of the ITA and the others in Ukraine.
