Review of the roles and functioning of Ryan White Part A planning councils.
Priority Setting and Resource Allocation
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program resources are limited and need is severe. This heightens the responsibility of planning councils to use sound information and a rational decision-making process when deciding which services and other program categories are priorities (priority setting) and how much to fund them (resource allocation).
