Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) Post Indexes (TARs) - ARCHIVED

These Indexes are calculated to establish and adjust Post Living Allowances for persons serving under the Technical Assistance Regulations (TARs), whose terms and conditions are governed by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).

The CIDA indexes are directed only to cooperants and advisers governed by the Technical Assistance Regulations (TARs).
