Highlights:
♦ the mechanism of public-private partnership in the sphere of culture in the modern conditions of the changing external environment and the need to find new sources of funding is considered as the most important management tool in the regions of the Russian Federation. In this case, of particular importance is such a structural component of the mechanism under consideration as a comprehensive assessment of the development level of PPP in the sphere of culture of the regions of the Russian Federation;
♦ having analyzed the dynamics of the Samara region`s rating on the level of PPP development, it was found that this region ranked first in Russia during 2018-2019, and in 2020 - only seventh. However, according to the results of the evaluation of the accumulated experience in the implementation of PPP projects (until 2020), the Samara region was in the top three, yielding only to Moscow and St. Petersburg. This provides significant opportunities for the development of this mechanism in the sphere of culture in the Samara region;
♦ the comprehensive methodology proposed in the study to assess the level of PPP development in the sphere of culture of the Russian regions will allow to take into account such constituent criteria of evaluation as the use of intellectual property, the impact of PPP development on the improvement of the investment climate in the region and the entrepreneurship development, the consideration of socio-cultural effectiveness of the project. This will make it possible not only to assess the place of the region in the rating on the level of PPP development in the sphere of culture, but also to improve the methodology of evaluation of PPP projects in other industries.
