About the Book

Echoing the words of the Hippocratic Oath, the author challenges aid agency staff to take responsibility for the ways that their assistance affects conflicts. Mary B. Anderson cites the experiences of many aid providers in war-torn societies to show that international assistance - even when it is effective in saving lives, alleviating suffering and furthering sustainable development - too often reinforces divisions among contending groups. But more importantly, she offers hopeful evidence of creative programmes that point the way to new approaches to aid. Calling for a redesign of assistance programmes so that they do not harm while doing their intended good, she argues futher that many opportunities exist for aid workers to in fact support the processes by which societies disengage from war.

Review :
In her insightful and practical book...Anderson offers the development community an opportunity to, at the least, do no harm...Do No Harm makes an important contribution to an ongoing discussion about how outsiders can play a productive role in preventing and resolving violent conflict." —Ana Grier Cutter, Ethics and International Affairs "NGO staff members are encouraged to put some of their scarce time for learning aside to read this book." —Angela M. Wakhweya, African Studies Quarterly "Provide[s] the reader with short but profound examples of how aid has been given in a range of conflict situations...[Do No Harm] is a well written and a very usable book." —Journal of Peace Research "A book that makes for intriguing reading for all those interested in international affairs and humanitarian efforts from the perspective of those who are actually engaged in it." —Doris H. Gray, International Journal on World Peace
