Benchmark for Scoring
Impact & Results scores of cataract surgery programs are based on the economic productivity loss averted by successful treatment of blindness or vision impairment from cataracts. Programs receive an Impact & Results score of 100 if they cure a person of blindness for less than the estimated economic productivity loss from that person's blindness. According to W.H.O. convensions on benchmarking, programs receive a score of 80 if they cure a case of blindness for less than three times that economic productivity loss. If a nonprofit reports impact but doesn't meet this benchmark for cost-effectiveness, it earns a score of 65.
This nonprofit's cost per meal is less than 125% of the local meal cost.
