Best Practices for Implementing Equitable and Just Large-Scale Randomized Trials in Majority World Countries

This article focuses on a widely used method in developmental and education research in majority world countries: large-scale impact evaluations and randomized controlled trials. We build on our experience implementing such programs in majority world countries, primarily in West Africa, and reflect on our experiences to propose a set of best practices in maintaining equity and justice in collaborations between majority and minority world countries. These include prioritizing research–policy–community partnerships, promoting complementary research approaches, considering measurement timescales, and capacity exchange approaches. © 2024 American Psychological Association
