Answer:
It depends on the context.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the example of a government allocating resources to the country then yes. They would set budgets/allocate certain amount of resources to ensure there is enough resources for each department.
This is similar to how we manage finances on a daily or monthly basis (?) e.g. our parents give us pocket money every day so we have a limited funding and do not overspend
We then decide what we want to spend our money (allocating resources) on so we can get what we want to buy or what we want to save
