What we do
International development research and evidence often lacks the participation of southern practitioners who work directly with communities living in poverty - and the views of those communities themselves. We aim to change that.
We enable and strengthen the production and use of high-quality ethical research, evidence, and learning. Why?
Because we want to spark crucial conversations in the development sector and influence the design and delivery of programme and policy work.
Guided by the principles of knowledge justice and decolonization of research, we aim to foster a development research landscape that’s more inclusive, diverse and equitable.
That means creating spaces for southern knowledge and including the voices of marginalised groups in evidence we produce.
Doing research ethically: a guide
Our guide and toolkit aims to help NGO staff, partners and consultants to conduct research and evaluation in an ethical way.

Co-creation in Development Research
This guide was developed to aid the effective use of the co-creation approach in development research. It introduces co-creation methodologies that aim to decolonize research practices, shifting power dynamics and centring community knowledge in development work.
Drawing insights from co-creation processes used by Christian Aid in some key research pieces in the global South, this document describes and analyses the co-creation process of those research projects.
