Table 2 BIA design and assumptions

Perspective

Human health care provider at local level (health district): costs borne at higher levels or related to the veterinary sector were not taken into account

Time horizon

5 years, capital costs were not annualized

Target population

Children from mobile pastoralist communities in the health district < 60 months (= 1750)

Initial population

Estimation based on the number of nomadic children reached during a mixed vaccination campaign in 2016 assuming that the intervention covered the total population at that time

Population growth rate

3%

Cost of the intervention

Derived from project reports and accounting system of a mixed vaccination campaign implemented in Danamadji in November 2016

Current cost of interventions aimed at reaching mobile pastoralist communities for vaccination

Since there is no specific intervention to reach remote populations, we assumed that no resources are currently used

Economic impact

Economic consequences stemming from improved health outcomes through increased vaccination coverage among mobile pastoralists are not taken into account

Health district expenses

Derived from the official accounting system 2016
