1. The number of masks in this donation was calculated from the aggregate totals. 100,000 masks + 20,000 masks + 30,000 masks = 150,000 masks. 170,000 masks - 150,000 masks = 20,000 masks. 20,000 / 2 remaining donations = 10,000 masks in each donation.AidData has estimated the transaction amount for this donation based on price catalogues from the World Health Organization (WHO). Please see the TUFF Methodology for additional details.
