Capital goods are items with more than 1 year of useful life and cost more than $250. They require an initial outlay but can then be used over a number of years, e.g. vehicles for transportation, tents for CHCs, and the careHPV test system.
Personnel are paid and unpaid staff who provide cervical cancer screening and prevention services. The value of unpaid volunteers was estimated using the market wage of staff serving similar functions.
Recurrent goods are items typically consumed within 1 year as well as longer-lived resources costing under $250 (e.g. office supplies).
Services are contracted support activities, e.g. consultant fees, IT support, utilities, and vehicle maintenance.
