Russian term or phrase: "целевые комплексные и отраселевые программы развития"
I translated this as "goal-oriented and sector-based programs of development." That's a mouthful in English. Is there something better?

English translation:integrated [comprehensive] or [and] industry[-wide] targetted development programs
Explanation:
See if the context will help determine:

- if this is one of those cases where "и" can usefully be translated as "or" instead of "and";
- what is meant by комплексные, which can be integrated, comprehensive, overall - with respect to a region, or cross-sector, or something else;
- depeending on what комплексный needs to be, you might be able to reduce the mouthful by writing only "industry", e.g., if it's "regional or industry", but likely you'll need "industry-wide" or "industrial sector" or "industrial sector-wide", in order to be sure that it's not confused with "industry" in the sense of "промышленный".

I like "targeted/targetted" for целевые because it tells you a bit more than "special", without sounding horribly not-English like "goal-oriented".

Thanks! I ended up going with "comprehensive and sector-wide programs of targeted development." Very good to figure out how to avoid that "goal-oriented"!

special, complex (or: all-in) and branch-related development programs


Explanation:
целевые (its basic meaning is <having a special purpose> that´s why I translated it as special. ( by the way it is the best counterpart of ear-marked, but IMO this doesnot fit here since it might remind of funds).
