Information system for monitoring key tasks of the Government of the Russian Federation

2023:  System Results

On October 17, 2023, the Government of the Russian Federation announced the results of digitalization of the field of preparation of government documents. In particular, we are talking about an information system for monitoring key tasks on the site of the Cabinet of Ministers apparatus, which has been operating since 2020.

This IT system, according to the press service of the Cabinet, allows you to control each stage of work on the preparation of bills, resolutions and orders. The system displays the current status of the tasks and correlates it in parallel with the result to be achieved. It records cases of violation of deadlines or their changes for each specific event.

All federal ministries and departments have access to the system. In real time, they can analyze the progress of the current tasks and independently evaluate the result of their work. It is argued that the influence of the human factor on the objectivity of the data is minimized. The system automatically updates information through integration with other information systems that are primary sources.

According to the words of Deputy Prime Minister - Chief of Staff of the Government of the Russian Federation Dmitry Grigorenko, a digital management model was introduced, which is based on reliable data, and not on expert assessments. This tool helps civil servants of all structures to effectively carry out their work. This management model has increased the executive discipline of federal ministries and departments, including significantly accelerated the procedures for preparing bills and adopting acts, he said.

In 2024, it is planned to launch a function in the information system for monitoring key tasks of the government, which will predict and prevent risks of non-compliance with deadlines.

According to the Cabinet's own data, from January to mid-October 2023, the government submitted 211 bills to the State Duma, while they were almost three times faster for consideration by deputies compared to the same period 2022. There is also an increase in performing discipline when adopting by-laws. So, according to the results of three quarters of the year, 96% of such acts were adopted on time, in the same period last year - 78%. Such results were achieved in part due to digitalization.^[1]
