Case Studies for Ethical Research Practice
The RDI Network has documented case studies to assist organisations and researchers to explore lessons, experiences and responses in navigating ethical issues associated with research and evaluation in international development.
By sharing the learnings and successes of how academics, organisations and collaborations have applied ethical principles through their research practice, we aim to build the knowledge base and capacity of the sector.
Find below a series of case studies sourced as part of the Network’s development of the Principles and Guidelines for Ethical Research and Evaluation in Development.
If you or your organisation would like to propose a new case study in order to inform this growing body of work, please get in touch.
