However, community-based organizations are stretched for time, staffing, and funding, and the added obligation of regularly performing management planning tools, such as strategic planning, needs assessments, program evaluations, or market demand forecasting, strain limited resources.

Such collaborations produced maximization of production and effectiveness in an environment characterized by limited resources. | lld:pubmed |
