According to this salary standard, the directors of organizations involved in development cooperation do not earn more than the basic salary earned by a Director-General (DG) at a Dutch Ministry. PharmAccess adheres to this norm, and is also compliant with the ‘VFI-norm’ and the ‘Wet Normering Topinkomens,’ formerly known as the ‘Balkenende-norm.’
