Ethical research and children

UNICEF is committed
to ensuring that all research, evaluation and data collection processes
undertaken by UNICEF and its partners are ethical. To this end, procedures and
guidelines have been created to embed ethical principles and practices in all
our evidence generation programmes.
UNICEF recognizes the critical importance of children’s voice in evidence generation and is developing tools to support and advocate for ethical evidence generation involving children.
