hey there interesting question! As a policy I would doubt it. interestingly sometimes NGO policies pay as minority of jobs at or below market rate. for example a NGO hospital close to my home pays everyone with a degree the same amount. So most of their staff then get 50 to 100 percent more than they market rate, but they struggle to even hire radiographers (there’s a shortage) who get paid double other degree holders on the open market. The health center I work at (which pays 20% more than market) recently had to hire a radiographer paid twice as much as the in-charge of the facility!
At OneDay health we do something like that, although it’s not an official policy. Although In management positions I’ll be honest that we pay a bit more and say I’m partially guilty of my own accusations. Not even in the ballpark of many NGOs though.
Interesting, are there NGOs in LMICs that pay their staff 20% more than the market pay?

Interesting. Thank you for explaining!
