Statement of Ethics for the International Consortium for Social Development (ICSD)

Abstract

Background: In June 2019, Professor Manohar Pawar, President of the ICSD, constituted a committee, comprising Prof. Richard Hugman, University of New South Wales, Prof. Manohar Pawar, Charles Sturt University, and Prof. Vijayan K. Pillai, University of Texas at Arlington, to develop a draft statement of ethics for the ICSD. The statement was circulated for ICSD members’ feedback. The feedback received from members, including, Drs. Michael A. Dover, Gokul Mandayam, and Francis Okello, was used to revise the statement. The following statement of ethics for the ICSD is an evolving document for the benefit of development practitioners and it is hoped that ICSD members would further refine and strengthen it periodically.
