The scientific article deals with the directions of improvement of the process of development and implementation of state targeted programs for protecting the natural environment in Ukraine. In particular, state targeted programs of environmental protection in Ukraine are the subject of this research. Methodology. A set of scientific research methods is used to realize the goals and tasks defined in the scientific article. Namely, the comparative method was used to compare the foreign experience of developed countries in the field of state programming of environmental protection and its adaptation to the conditions of Ukraine; to compare indicators that determine the level of development and implementation of state target programs of environmental protection in Ukraine; economic and statistical method used to investigate the state and trends of the development of the state programming system in Ukraine, to identify the main problems and obstacles related to its functioning; graphic interpretation method made it possible to visualize the principal scheme of management of domestic state target programs of environmental protection; the method of theoretical analysis, systemic and analytical methods, method of generalization, methods of grouping contributed to the identification of the main directions of improvement of the processes of development and implementation of state targeted programs for the protection of the natural environment in Ukraine. Information and reference base of scientific research consists of laws and other legal regulations of Ukraine on environmental protection issues, international documents, analytical and statistical materials of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, reports on the implementation of State target programs for 2010–2016, scientific works of domestic scientists, periodicals, results of the authors’ personal observations. Practical implementation. The authors have summarized their research results on the possibility of using the schematic model of managing the state targeted environmental protection program in Ukraine for the aspects related to creation and functioning of the Coordination Council, led by the program manager. The above mentioned Coordination Council is an advisory (collegial) body that operates on a voluntary basis. It is also substantiated that for Ukraine worthy of attention is the experience of the European Union countries, which radically changed the system of state management of environmental protection, and revised the balance of competence of different levels of government, through systematic improvement and alignment of the mechanisms of environmental management with international legal, normative-methodical and institutional basis of ecological management and ecological safety. The scientific value of research results. In the form of directions for improving the process of development and implementation of state targeted programs for the protection of the natural environment in Ukraine, a set of key recommendations has been proposed for improving the efficiency of functioning of the system of domestic state programming for natural environment protection.
