Establishing need for resources

Requiring application of resources
Initiating consumption of resources

Description

Establishing need for resources involves systematically identifying and articulating the specific materials, funding, personnel, or infrastructure required to address a defined problem or achieve an objective. This process ensures that resource allocation is justified, targeted, and efficient, preventing waste and shortages. By clearly demonstrating necessity, it facilitates informed decision-making, prioritizes actions, and supports the mobilization of support or investment, thereby remedying issues of misallocation, under-resourcing, or ineffective interventions.
