The review of innovative activity in the Moscow region, the main tendencies of the region’s development (including the social sphere) and also the analysis of the existing legislation of the region in the field of assessment of efficiency of social projects is carried out in the article. The article is devoted to the problem of assessment of efficiency of social innovative-and-investment projects. Social innovations are considered as one of the main instruments of the increase in the level and quality of the population life and also as the factor of sustainable urban development as whole. The assumption is made, that to the forefront of the assessment of the efficiency of social innovative-and-investment projects there has to be a calculation not of efficiency, but off effectiveness of the project, and also the idea, that indicators of effectiveness need to be grouped according to the social directions (housing-and-communal services, education, municipal healthcare, culture, sport and physical culture, transport)
