Source: Costs for each program estimated by workshop participants and project staff were subsequently cross-validated against actual program budgets in the field and against program costing literature
For items that were only reported once within each country across multiple programs, mean costs are equivalent to the single reported cost. In cases where items were reported multiple times across program budgets within a given country, mean costs are the average cost for that item
The minimum cost of a single item within each category as specified by workshop participant; reported only if an item appears in multiple program budgets within each country
The maximum cost of a single item within each category as specified by the workshop participants; reported only if an item appears in multiple program budgets within each country
Item reported more than once across program budgets, but the cost was the same in each budget for the given country
This item was only present in one program budget for the given country, and therefore a minimum and maximum cost are not reported; however, items that appeared once were cross-validated with other existing program budgets, costing literature, and expert project staff
