Abstract
This study uses the collaborative governance concept to examine efforts of HIV Health Services Planning Councils in two South
Florida Counties. The study employs qualitative methods such as interviews and document reviews in collecting data from various
relevant sources. The results reveal more similarities than differences in the Councils’ efforts toward addressing the HIV/AIDS
problem. The Councils are similar in all variables of collaborative governance with few exceptions relative to facilitative
leadership and institutional design. Collaborative governance of stakeholders thereby enhances efforts in effectively managing
and/or addressing complex problems.
