In this master's thesis, the question of assessing the social effectiveness of projects in relation to the construction of preschool educational organizations, implemented on the basis of public-private partnership agreements, municipal-private partnerships, concession agreements, was considered. The presence of a high-quality social infrastructure that meets modern requirements is the basic condition for the effective functioning of the educational system, and therefore significant budgetary and private resources are involved in this infrastructure. At the same time, assessing the social effectiveness of such projects is difficult due to the fragmented approaches, the lack of a unified methodology, as well as significant options for assessing social indicators. The state, as a party to an agreement on public-private partnerships, municipal-private partnerships, and concession agreements, needs to evaluate the effectiveness of the funds invested in the project and have information on what social effect the construction of a preschool educational organization in a particular subject can bring.
