The ingredients approach is used for the main cost drivers that account for 80% of total costs (vaccines, injection supplies, human resources, vehicles, cold chain), and the rules of thumb and the budgeting approach are used for the other cost categories.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Users\/Target audience<\/strong><br \/>\nNational planners and immunization program manager will be the principal users.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Organization<\/strong><br \/>\nWorld Health Organization (WHO)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:Claudio_Politi_politic@who.int\">Claudio_Politi_politic@who.int<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Website<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.who.int\/pmnch\/knowledge\/publications\/costing_tools\/en\/index7.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.who.int\/pmnch\/knowledge\/publications\/costing_tools\/en\/index7.html<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.who.int\/immunization\/programmes_systems\/financing\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.who.int\/immunization\/programmes_systems\/financing\/en\/&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords<\/strong><br \/>\ncosting tool, projection tool<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong><br \/>\nThis tool is integrated in the OneHealth tool and no further updates will be provided.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Short description This tool is used to make projections of future costs, future resources requirements, future financing needs to achieve programme objectives, and analyse the corresponding financing gaps and sustainability.
