Efficiency, economy and effectiveness: outcomes and impacts of public expenditures are main issue especially from mid eighties, when massive changes in the public sector started, influencing both allocative and X-efficiency of public expenditures. Public expenditure programmes are implemented on many levels, from international to municipal, and in many different forms. In our paper, we decided to perform the analysis on the level of self-governing regions in the Czech Republic. We focus on the following dimensions of expenditure analysis: the scope and scale of allocative and regulatory public expenditure programmes in the region (from EU level programmes to regional); existing approaches used to analyse effectiveness of selected public expenditure programmes; impacts of public expenditure programmes on selected recipients (including capacity of recipients to apply for public resources - capacity to prepare projects to compete for public funds).

Keywords: Czech Republic, public expenditure programme, self-governing regions, effectiveness
