    This memo from USAID/Madagascar outlines revised guidelines for in-country per diem, lodging, and transportation payments for officials, civil society, nonprofit staff, and Community Health Volunteers (CHVs). It supersedes a previous 2021 memo, introducing new eligibility criteria and rates based on recommendations from various stakeholders. Key points include: - Per diem eligibility requires official travel away from the normal workplace for over eight hours, with specific rates established for regional capitals and district centers. Rates are adjustable based on meals and lodging provided. - Senior Government of Madagascar officials may access higher lodging reimbursements. - Transportation reimbursements cover actual travel costs or fixed daily rates based on location. - CHVs are eligible for stipends only during qualifying travel for non-regular activities, with explicit daily rates for various events and transportation options. - Double payments from multiple sources are prohibited. The memo's comprehensive approach reflects USAID's effort to standardize support for health-related initiatives, ensuring fair treatment and budget adherence among its partners in Madagascar. It emphasizes collaboration and adherence to established guidelines for efficient resource management.
