Fees for Conducting Research in Madagascar
Malagasy Research Technician Salary
The Centre ValBio and MICET employ trained local Malagasy research
technicians for the region. Researchers working in other parts
of Madagascar should contact MICET concerning the availability
of research technicians. Researchers in Ranomafana National Park
must employ at least one research technician per project. Researchers
are responsible for paying research technician salaries, overtime,
and perdiems in accordance with Centre ValBio employee contracts.
The salary levels are set by the Centre ValBio and MICET, and
vary with the experience of the research technician. For budgeting
purposes, $250/month should cover these costs. The actual
costs will be determined by the accountant at the Centre ValBio,
who will provide you with a detailed bill. Research Technician
salaries, perdiems, and overtime should be paid to the accountant
at the Centre ValBio in Ariary at the end of each
month. The accountant will distribute them to the
research technician. Please DO NOT negotiate employee contracts
or pay research technicians directly, as this may create inequities
among employees.
Please note that researchers must provide their Malagasy research
technicians with any field equipment that they may need (raincoats,
boots, binoculars, data notebooks, and if you plan to go on expeditions,
a tent and sleeping bag).
Occasionally, researchers wish to provide additional training
to Malagasy people with whom they have worked. As a courtesy,
we ask that you discuss your plans for training with the Executive
Director (Dr. Patricia C. Wright) or the National Coordinator
(Dr. Benjamin ANDRIAMIHAJA) at an early stage in your planning.
