Dataset for The Cost of Reaching Zero-Dose Children in Ethiopia

About this study: This was an activity-based, bottom-up micro-costing study which aimed to estimate vaccine delivery costs for three main strategies: Routine Immunization and Regular Outreach (RI/RO), Periodic Intensification of Routine Immunization (PIRI), and Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams (MHNTs). Both financial and opportunity costs, including costs shared with other health programs, were considered. Data were collected retrospectively from December 2023 to November 2024 across 49 health facilities (17 health centers and 32 health posts), six MHNT teams, and six PIRI campaigns. Key informant interviews across all administrative levels provided context on operational and financial enablers and bottlenecks. Costs were converted from Ethiopian birr to 2024 US dollars, and results are reported as cost per vaccine dose delivered and cost per zero-dose child reached. About this file: This file presents the facility-level (fro routine) and woreda level (for MHNT and PIRI) raw cost data used to estimate the cost of delivering vaccines to zero dose children. Costs are presented as 2024 USD.
