    This memo from USAID Madagascar outlines revised policies regarding per diem, lodging, transportation payments, and stipends for Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) effective March 20, 2023. It replaces a previous memo from May 6, 2021, and sets new rates influenced by discussions with the Ministry of Public Health and other stakeholders. Key components include: 1. **Per Diem Rates**: Eligible travelers on official duties can claim per diem based on location (MGA 150,000 for Regional Capitals, MGA 100,000 for other areas) with reductions if meals or lodging are provided. Conditions for receiving per diem include travel exceeding 8 hours away from the usual workplace. 2. **Transportation**: Reimbursement for travel costs requires receipts, with specific fixed rates set for daily transport and airport transfers. 3. **CHV Stipends**: CHVs earn stipends for absences over eight hours related to training or campaigns, with specific daily rates for meals and lodging. 4. **Payment Restrictions**: Payments should not overlap from multiple sources. These updated guidelines aim to enhance collaboration and streamline financial interactions with various stakeholders in Madagascar's public health sector. For further clarifications, USAID encourages contacting the Acquisition and Assistance Specialists.
