Acknowledgment

This book exists only because tens of thousands of people have taken up and contributed to the concepts, ideas, techniques, and tools of Do No Harm. Do No Harm has been circulating around the NGO and international communities for 20 years. The changes in practice and policy from the early days are immense.

I owe all of you a debt of thanks for teaching me so much about the world and about how great things are accomplished by dedicated, thoughtful people. You have made a difference.

May this Guide continue to help you as you have helped so many others.

Much of the background research for this book was made possible by the generous support of DFID, the Norwegian Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and USAID for the Do No Harm Project at CDA Collaborative Learning Projects. Portions of this book are revised from Guidance Notes available from CDA.
