This project was carried out in four phases. Phase 1: Determine the actual costs of the current meningitis surveillance system; phase 2: Evaluate the performance and quality of the system; phase three: Determine the potential costs of scaling up the surveillance system to a feasible operational standard; and phase four: Use the results from Chad to develop a surveillance cost model that can be used for predicting the costs of surveillance strategies in other African meningitis belt countries.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Online Journal of Public Health Informatics}, author={Erondu, Ngozi and Griffiths, Ulla K.}, year={2015}, month={Feb.} }
