Abstract.
In the article the experience of the application of program and target methodology in practice of the strategic territorial management in Stavropol Krai is studied. This region is the catalyst of the economic growth in the North Caucasian federal district. The author notes that, despite the fact that in regions of the North Caucasian federal district favorable conditions for the development of the agrarian and industrial complex, tourism, power industry, extracting and processing industries are created, cardinally it wasn’t a successful attempt to improve the social and economic situation in this territory. That’s why the investment priorities of the State program “Development of the North Caucasian federal district for the period till 2025” approved in 2014 are connected with the formation of conditions for the advanced development of the economy of the district and the creation of new workplaces. Its main tool is supposed to be the federal target program “South of Russia” for the period 2014-2020, which strategic tasks are building of social objects, increase of investment attractiveness of subjects of North Caucasian federal district and decrease of unemployment. In the development of the economic complex of the Stavropol Krai “The program of social and economic development of the Stavropol Krai for 2010-2015” is expected to play an important role. The experience of 2008- 2013 showed that the program and target approach to social and economic development of subjects of the North Caucasian federal district hardly has an alternative. But the dispersion of resources according to various programs and the lack of coordination of efforts of public authorities can lead to the violation of the unity of the state policy in the Northern Caucasus, to an inefficient use of budgetary funds, to the growth of corruption and other risks.

Key words: North Caucasian federal district, Stavropol Krai, program and target approach, State program “Development of the North Caucasian federal district for the period till 2025”, federal target program “South of Russia”, “Program of Social and Economic Development of Stavropol Krai for 2010-2015”, target indicators, investments, priorities, strategic tasks, efficiency.
