Average annual financial and economic cost per capita by intervention: reference implementation (USD, 2014)

Intervention costs per capita (total population) reflect reference implementation presented in Table 1 above and Additional file 2. Estimates in the first-row show costs incurred in the first year (i.e. the year the intervention is first introduced), assuming the intervention is only to be deployed for 1 year. The second row gives the average annual economic cost assuming each intervention is implemented annually for 5 years

aIn the reference implementation 50% of structures/population targeted by IRS (denominator for the unit cost is total population). Equivalent cost summaries per output are reported in Additional file 1: Table S7. Costs by implementation stage and cost structure are reported in Additional file 1: Tables S9, S10
