ODs – operational district; SD – standard deviation

Note: HIV prevalence was averaged based on provincial-level data from 2005 DHS database. All basic vaccination coverage, distance to health facilities and education was averaged based on provincial-level data from 2010 DHS database. All basic vaccinations include BCG, measles and three doses each of tetravalent or pentavalent and polio vaccine.
