Résumé
Health research in low-income and middle-income countries, which face the greatest burden of disease, is a vital component of efforts to combat global health inequality. With increased research, there has also been concern about ethical and regulatory issues and the state of research ethics committees, with various attempts to strengthen them. This scoping review examines the literature on ethics committees for health-related research in sub-Saharan Africa, with a focus on regulatory governance and leadership, administrative and financial capacity, and conduct of ethical reviews. We will use the methodological approach proposed by Arksey and O'Malley and adapted by Levac Ethical approval is not required as the review will include only published literature. The findings will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at stakeholder meetings and conferences.
