Hi all,

I am hoping to tap into any experiences with research conducted in low- and lower-middle-income countries. I have a researcher who wants to hire consultants to do the work locally (conducting surveys) in several Latin American Countries. They are not affiliated with a local institution, so we need to pay them individually.

We are encountering problems with our internal processes. These individuals do not have bank accounts, so we cannot mail a check or wire funds. Western Union is looking like our best option for paying their consulting fees. Has anyone had experience with Western Union or related services? Did they work well?

Thanks for any advice!
Sheri
