Service Costs and Chargeback Standard Services Standard service costs are calculated independently, and costs apportioned following a reasonable metric. An example of how standard services are calculated and compared to commercial alternatives in the Mozambique pilot is shown in Table 1. Table 1: Standard Service Cost Per Month Service UN as Provider Commercial Provider Agency Apportionment UN Network $1,500.00 $4,200.00 By number of staff Contingency Site $3,075.00 $20,000.00 By number of essential staff Radio Room $2,500.00 Not Available By number of staff Total $7,075.00 $24,200.00 Actual cost charge-back per agency is dependent on the actual number of essential and other staff that each agency has. This is calculated once a year based on the number of essential and other staff reported by each agency. The final reported staff numbers are then factored into calculate the standard monthly charge-back for the year for each participating agency.
