What is a fair and ethical #research collaboration between the global South and North? Johncharles Mwangi, senior researcher at our partner organization Centre for Training and integrated Research in ASAL Development (CETRAD), Kenya, addressed this question in today’s workshop “Be fair, contextually aware, and conflict-sensitive in intercultural and intercontextual collaborations” within CDE’s master’s seminar. He underlined: “A fair and ethical research collaboration is one guided by the KFPE_CH principles, such as setting the agenda together, interacting with stakeholders, clarifying responsibilities of each project participant including beneficiaries, and promoting mutual learning. A fair collaboration is also anchored on ethical principles and values agreed upon and followed by the collaborating institutions to promote the aims of the research.”
