The Do No Harm Frameworks have been used in all phases of an intervention, from planning through implementation to evaluation. The following brief sections outline four rough processes for using the Do No Harm Frameworks. Every organization will incorporate these processes differently and in accordance with their existing processes and culture.

Evaluation

Evaluators often find themselves in situations where there is little or no information about the context from the beginning of an intervention. This makes tracing the impacts over time more challenging, but not impossible.

Using the Frameworks, and evaluator can often quite quickly develop an understanding of the context and the current, ongoing impacts on it. A Dividers and Connectors Analysis will show the context as it is. Continuing through the Frameworks with Critical Detail Mapping and the ABCs should allow the evaluator to see where impacts are ongoing. This is extraordinarily valuable information, even without a baseline from the past.

An evaluator can often reconstruct the past context from current impacts, but it easier and more respectful to talk to people.
