About the Article
This Teaching Paper introduces a structured Case Study Analysis Framework designed to support systematic ethical reflection in non-profit and development projects. The framework guides users through case description, stakeholder analysis, ethical issue assessment, mitigation strategies, and lessons learned. By applying this tool, organizations can strengthen accountability, improve decision-making, and generate actionable recommendations for future practice.
Key Topics:
- Five-step framework: description, stakeholders, issues, mitigation, lessons learned
- Application to non-profit and development contexts
- Case study: digital micro-grant system in East Africa
- Common challenges and practical tips
- Reflection questions for academic and practitioner audiences
- Academic value: bridging ethics, governance, and applied decision-making
