Abstract
The article examines the state planning system, including its principles and key participants. Special attention is paid to indicative planning, which, despite its recommendatory nature, is an effective tool for coordinating efforts and achieving national goals. The purpose of this article is to analyse the oversight process for strategic programs in the Republic of Kazakhstan and to develop proposals for its improvement. To achieve this goal, the following scientific methods were used in the study: system analysis, which allowed us to consider state planning as a complex system; problem-oriented analysis, which allowed us to identify the main shortcomings in the implementation of the program; descriptive method, which was used to present in detail the process of hierarchical control.; the synthesis method, based on which proposals for its improvement were developed. The authors consider factors influencing the effectiveness of government programs, including the quality of development, resource allocation, and coordination. Using the example of the National Development Plan until 2029, the article describes in detail a multi-stage monitoring process involving cooperation between various government departments. Based on the identified problems, such as unbalanced goals and insufficient coordination, improvement measures are proposed, including digitising processes and leveraging big data analysis and artificial intelligence. Implementing these proposals will make monitoring more effective and transparent, ultimately improving the quality of management decisions.
