Fees for Conducting Research in Madagascar

The services provided by ICTE/MICET (in Antananarivo) and the Centre ValBio (in Ranomafana) are not for profit, but for the sustainability of operations and are needed to cover expenses incurred to keep equipment, administration and communication functioning. Please take responsibility for prompt payment so we can continue to offer these services.

MICET charges can be paid in $US, traveler's checks, or Malagasy Ariary, based on the exchange rate at the time of payment.

The Centre ValBio requires that payment be made in Ariary. You cannot change $US in Ranomafana, and in Fianarantsoa changing money can be difficult. We recommend you change your $US to Ariary in Antananarivo.

Malagasy Currency is now in Ariary. In April 2007, $1US=1,833 Ariary. Please use current conversion rate for your calculations.
