Abstract
The African independent Ethics Committee (AIEC) was set up in 2021 to provide ethics advice to African researchers and researchers in Africa, initially with a bias towards social work and development. In 2023, the committee was enlarged to include people who work with communities, African cultural experts and professionals. The committee issues advisory letters, and this is the second one. In this letter, the AIEC provides a view of ethics for research and practice. Eight key ethics derived from Ubuntu are presented and discussed.
