Impact evaluation teams (or research teams) often work with, or have access to datasets that contain sensitive or personal identifiable information (PII) on individuals. They can either have direct access - for instance, through a field survey, or indirect access to this data - for instance, in the form of call data records (CDR). In both cases, research ethics are important to ensure that research teams act responsibly. Broadly, ethical research means that research teams must obtain necessary ethics approvals, protect rights of individuals, and obtain informed consent. Research ethics ensure that that steps taken to reach the outcomes of a study are just as important as the outcomes themselves, and improve the validity of results of a study.
