Do No Harm: A Brief Introduction from CDA
This toolkit designed by 2010 Legacies Now & Creative City Network Of Canada has been designed to take you through the entire mapping process, from creating an inventory to drawing up and presenting your map. The process has been broken down into stages and steps. Each step is accompanied by examples, checklists or worksheets to help you get organized. When you have finished, the working documents will serve as a record of the suggestions and solutions you came up with as you went along.
If you are interested in learning more about the IEP Positive Peace framework, you can take part in the IEP Peace Academy. It is a 2-hour online course with 5 modules, quizzes, a Facebook group and post-completion opportunities. There is the opportunity to purchase an IEP certificate of attainment on completion of the course. The subscription for a life-long access is free of charge.
This 30-minute online course teaches aid and development workers how to apply the Do No Harm framework so they avoid unintentionally making destructive conflict worse which in turn leads to more effectiveness, accountability, and efficiency in programming choices. To access the course you have to create a free account on disasterready.org

The Culture & Communities Mapping Project researches Edinburgh’s cultural landscapes by asking questions about cultural equity, cultural identity, and the links between geography, sociodemographics, and culture. We use methods of cultural mapping and GIS to reflect on the city’s cultural infrastructures and the spatial production of knowledge. The project also includes the map 'Festivals and Communites map' that is showing data on festival ticketing, venues and outreach, against sociodemographic and event data.
Do No Harm is a leading tool for the application of conflict sensitivity. Conflict sensitivity recognizes that aid, whether development, peacebuilding, or humanitarian assistance, has the potential to support either conflict or peace. This very brief introduction by CDA gives a solid overview on the concept.
