INCREASING THE AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION ON THE ACTIVITIES OF PUBLIC AUTHORITIES IN RUSSIA IN THE CONTEXT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FEDERAL PROJECT «STATE FOR THE PEOPLE»

In the context of the developing information society and the digitalization of public relations the issue of ensuring accessibility of information on the activities of public authorities requires a new approach. The objective is to establish the specific features of the right to access information on the activities of public authorities in modern society in the context of the implementation of the concept of a client-centric state in Russia, the main manifestation of which is the federal project «A State for the People». Methodological basis: general and specific scientific methods, particularly the systems method, the formal-legal method, statistical data were also used. Conclusions: current approaches to the requirements for ensuring accessibility of information on the  activities of public authorities are interconnected with the principles applied in the implementation of the concept of a client-centric state, in particular with the need for the state to ensure the clarity and convenience of information created for citizens in order to meet their needs. To scale these requirements to the national level it is proposed to make the necessary changes to relevant legislative and regulatory acts.
