公共行政效率被认为是一个涵盖多个领域的广泛概念，因此必须针对具体情况单独选择其所需的工具和最佳解决方案。然而，效率始终与有限的财务资源的运用、最小的组织成本以及追求目标结果的努力有关。尽管金融可能性有限，但在全球和区域变化的背景下，社会需求不断增长。人们对服务和基础设施的数量和质量的需求不断增加。为了实现公共部门复杂而持久的现代化，需要复杂的现代化战略（现代化的愿景、使命、规定和概念）。伙伴关系被认为是基础设施发展和服务效率的因素之一。当公共部门认识到其对其他部门的依赖并开始通过权力下放活动解决治理问题时，伙伴关系的本质就显现出来。因此，伙伴关系原则在纵向（通过联系不同级别的管理）和横向（部门间）上得到了巩固。为了有效的伙伴关系，应考虑三个关键要素：1）需要； 2）政治、法律、行政环境； 3）沟通。这既可以使不同部门的性质兼容，又可以发展伙伴关系，达到最终的协同效应。准确识别需求可以制定行动计划和策略。后者的履行可能性受到政治、法律和行政环境的限制。沟通需要在两个方向上进行：合作伙伴之间（内部）和面向社会（外部）。内部沟通加强相互关系和信任，而外部沟通则增强社会对持续变化的认可。伙伴关系可以采取多种形式；然而，角色和义务必须明确界定。人们认识到，每个部门不仅追求项目的共同目标（更优质的服务、发展基础设施），而且也追求个人目标：公共部门注重政治和经济利益，而私营部门则追求认可、利润和发展的可能性。来自私营部门的慈善事业或政府的善意并不是伙伴关系的可靠基础。中央政府将一些决策权和财政权下放给地方或与地方分享他们与社区成员和私营部门。
Efficiency of public administration is recognized as arather broad concept encompassing a variety of areas,therefore instruments and optimal solutions it requiresmust be selected individually for a single case. However,efficiency is always related to application of limitedfinancial resources, minimal organizational costs andefforts in pursue of target results. Despite the limitation offinancial possibilities, needs of society in the context ofglobal and regional changes are constantly growing. Anincreased demand both for quantity and quality of servicesand infrastructure is observed.For complex and permanent modernization of publicsector, a complex strategy of modernization is required(vision, mission, provisions, and concepts of modernization).Partnership is recognized as one of the factors ofinfrastructure development and service efficiency. Thenature of partnership is revealed when the public sectorrecognizes its dependence on other sectors and startssolving governance problems by decentralizing activity.Thus the principle of partnership is consolidated bothvertically (by relating different levels of administration) andhorizontally (inter-sectoral).For efficient partnership three key constituents shouldbe taken into consideration: 1) need; 2) political, legal,administrative environment; 3) communication. Thisenables both the compatibility of natures of differentsectors and development of partnership reaching ultimatesynergy. Precise identification of needs enablespreparation of plans and strategies of actions. Possibilitiesof performance of the latter are limited by political, legaland administrative environment. Communication needs toact in two directions: between partners (internal) andtowards the society (external). Internal communicationstrengthens interrelation and trust whereas the externalone enhances approval of the society for ongoing changes.Partnership can assume a variety of forms; howeverroles and obligations must be clearly defined. It isrecognized that each of the sectors pursues not only commongoals of the project (better quality services, development ofinfrastructure), but personal ones as well: the public sectorlaying its accounts on political and economic benefits,whereas the private one striving for recognition, profit,possibilities for development.Philanthropy from the private sector or governmentbenevolence is not a reliable foundation for a partnership.Central governments decentralize some decision-makingand financial power to local tiers or share them withcommunity members and the private sector.
