Lietuvos viešojo administravimo stebėsenos sistemų kūrimas ir jų duomenų panaudojimas ; Developing monitoring systems for Lithuanian public administration and using it's data
The objective of the Master Theses is to analyze the peculiarities of creation of monitoring systems of the Lithuanian public administration and usage of their data. First of all, it was attempted to disclose the theoretical reasoning of the work; therefore the role of monitoring was analyzed in the theory of public policy cycle and theoretical approaches to reforms of public governance (New Public Management, New Public Governance, Good Governance). Besides, the scientific literature was used in the work to distinguish the similarities of monitoring systems compared to single monitoring, difficulties of creation and implementation of the systems, to analyze the implementation stages of monitoring systems, and to distinguish monitoring directions and principles of effective monitoring system. One more part of the work was meant for the usage of data of monitoring system. There the usage of monitoring data for evaluation, decision-making on management, learning from experience, reforms and increase of accountability was defined. Two monitoring systems of the Lithuanian public administration were chosen for analysis – monitoring system of subjects of public administration and their activity and monitoring system of implementation results of the strategic activity plans of the governmental authorities (including the budgetary programs). The qualitative research helped to analyze the creation preconditions of these systems and the problems encountered during the creation process. It was learnt during the research that the monitoring system of subjects of public administration and their activity is not working yet, thus only its creation and possibilities of data usage were analyzed in the work. Whereas the monitoring system of implementation results of the strategic activity plans of the governmental authorities including the budgetary programs) is working, thus not only its creation, but also management and data usage were analyzed. During the analysis of the system's management, the management problems and improvement possibilities were distinguished, the implementation structure of the system was discussed, as well as reliability of data presentation. Besides, it was also analyzed, how much of the data of monitoring system are used for evaluation, decision-making preparation of reconstructions and reforms of public administration, and preparation of strategic plans and other documents.
