Allocate Model
Policy Project

The Allocate model offers a new mechanism whereby planners can examine and manipulate various assumptions and explore alternative uses of resources while developing a comprehensive Reproductive Health Policy. The Allocate model is intended to:

• Support priority-setting dialogue by supporting improved reproductive health action plans, with increased efficiency in the use of funding resources; and 
• Create a better dialogue between all stakeholders regarding reproductive health priorities.
   

• Assist planners in understanding the effects of funding levels and allocation patterns on program impact; and
• Help planners understand how funding levels and patterns can lead to reductions in maternal mortality, abortion related deaths, and unwanted pregnancies and increases in contraceptive prevalence.
  It does not, however, calculate the “optimum” allocation pattern or recommend a specific allocation of resources between interventions.
