Sheri,

We have used Western Union to wire money to workers in Belize. As far as I
know, we have encountered no problems going this route.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Research in LMIC Countries - Paying Consultants?

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
