Mike Fitzgibbon · IFAC-PapersOnLine · 2017
Implementing Digital Data Gathering methods and other ICT approaches are now an integral part of work in international development, with most involved organisations utilising them in a variety of different and innovate ways. Such approaches have had very significant benefits to implementing organisations, and participants and stakeholders on such projects and programmes. This paper examines some of the challenges that utilising these technologies raise that have yet to be overcome, with particular regard to obtaining informed consent, the meaning of that consent, and data sharing.
