2014 austerity measures saw post adjustment - an amount paid in addition to the net base salary for those working as development co-operation agents in countries requiring humanitarian aid, which varies according to the cost of living at each duty station - to all state workers active in development aid revoked.
Post adjustment was then reintroduced last year, however only partially and only enforced to employees of the Luxembourg embassies in Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso.
Answering Pirate Party MP Sven Clement's parliamentary question, Minister for Development Co-operation and Humanitarian Affairs Paulette Lenert explained that this ensured that the needs of particularly strenuous living conditions within these three West African countries were met.
The government is however working towards restoring post adjustment to all, Lenert revealed.
There are currently thirteen development co-operation agents working for the EU and UN in Luxembourgish embassies, two of whom are based in Luxembourg.
