Humanitarian aid work is filled with variety of actions and behaviours bringing rainbow of results and consequences, especially so in the neo-normalcy times. These may arise out of either some actors playing a spoilsport or due to power inequations, authority, structural discrimination, cultural hetrogenity and a combination of these. Aid workers who are involved in transfering of variety of resources, through development initiatives, need to consider the aspects of rights as well as conflictual dynamics in the project context. Do we forecast such disruptive behaviours causing negative impacts along with our program, is the question! This attitude of doing good without harm is to be intertwined with every stage of project cycle management designed to lay pathways of change: feasibility to sustainability (SDGs)!!
DNH as a tool provides a common reference point to analyse assistance, assess both the impacts and the possible conflicts. Also, prompts to identify those conflict-exacerbated impacts and alternatives while things are going badly. This workshop on “Do No Harm” gives this opportunity to look at the broader context of disruptions and how to mitigate potential negative effects on the social fabric, the economy and the environment and more so integrate into every stages of the project cycle management.
What will the workshop offer?
- An exposure to DNH framework – language and context analysis

- How to adapt DNH as per BMZ guidelines in the planning? Sharing from a practitioner.
