Equitable partnerships: Lessons from practitioners
This blog series, ‘Equitable Partnerships: Lessons from Practitioners’, explores the importance of equity, as well as its barriers and enablers. Each blog provides best practices and learning examples informed by their experience in the field.
The Global Code of Conduct for Research in Resource-Poor Settings, aims to achieve fair partnerships in research, and has been adopted by both the European Commission and the European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP). The code has been designed specifically to combat ‘ethics dumping’ – the practice of exporting unethical research practices to lower-income settings. It provides guidance to researchers across all disciplines, and presents clear, short statements in simple language to achieve the highest possible level of accessibility.
