Ethics and Development

Have you ever experienced an ethical dilemma in your development work? Is there a project going on in your country or community that you have questioned? As youth, how can we ensure that future development projects are well-intentioned, have a positive impact, and are truly beneficial to the communities they are serving? Share your thoughts on the ethics of development and its relevance to us in the past, present and future. Submit to our next issue of Panorama Zine.
