Description
<html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <p>Any research must follow ethical principles, particularly when it involves people as participants and is likely to impact them. This is standard practice in academic research and a legal requirement in medical trials, but also applies to research carried out by Oxfam. Oxfam&#8217;s work focuses on vulnerable populations, and takes place under difficult circumstances. When research takes place in such vulnerable and fragile contexts, high ethical standards need to be met and tailored to the specific characteristics of each situation.&#160;</p> <p>Oxfam welcomes the adaptation of this guideline by other NGOs, community organizations and researchers working in fragile contexts and with vulnerable communities. The guideline should be read together with other relevant Oxfam and Oxfam GB policies and protocols, including the guidelines on <a href="https://policy-practice.oxfam.org.uk/publications/writing-terms-of-reference-for-research-253034" rel="noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Writing Terms of Reference for Research</a>, <a href="https://policy-practice.oxfam.org.uk/publications/integrating-gender-in-research-planning-620621" rel="noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Integrating Gender in Research Planning</a> and <a href="https://policy-practice.oxfam.org.uk/publications/doing-research-with-enumerators-620574" rel="noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Doing Research with Enumerators</a>. A flowchart summarizing the guideline&#160;is also available to download on this page.&#160;</p> </body> </html>
