Declarations
:
: Our fieldwork performed in India does not clearly fall into any of the application areas specified in the Ethical Review Act in the country of our institution. Also, the national ethics review board only considers research conducted within the country. While we did not have any association with the local academic institutes or access to a local ethics board in India that could review and approve our study, we have striven to conduct the research ethically. Considering our research project’s diverse, complex, and developing context, we have attended to the ethical standards for ICTD/ICT4D research (Dearden and Kleine, ). Also, aligning with the ‘In-Action Ethics framework’ by Frauenberger et al. (), we have strived to frame contextually situated ethical responses, instead of going into the field with a static and formalized set of rules.
