The article analyzes modern approaches to evaluating the effectiveness of public control of public policy, comparing domestic and foreign experiences. Key methodologies are examined, including systemic, competency-based, process-oriented, and economic approaches, which identify factors contributing to successful control implementation. Particular attention is paid to mechanisms of citizen participation, such as digital platforms, independent oversight committees, and participatory budgeting practices. Conclusions. The domestic model is based on strict regulation through federal laws (e.g., No. 59-FZ, No. 8-FZ) and regional acts. Digital platforms like “Active Citizen” and “Gosuslugi” are primarily used for collecting feedback. In contrast, foreign countries focus on international standards, freedom of information principles (e.g., Freedom of Information Act), and independent monitoring through transparency indices and civil audits. Foreign practices demonstrate a higher level of citizen participation, such as participatory budgeting in Brazil or online platforms for requests in the UK. These differences are shaped by cultural, political, and historical characteristics but offer opportunities for experience exchange. Based on the analysis, recommendations are proposed to improve the public control system in Russia, taking into account international standards and best practices.
