Abstract: type="main" xml:id="dpr12132-abs-0001">

Reflecting on the experience of conducting a conflict-sensitivity review during the 2010 political and social disturbances in Kyrgyzstan, the authors argue for the integration of conflict-sensitive methods across programme areas, close monitoring of conflict potential and an institutional commitment to detailed conflict research drawing on broader socio-economic research. Comparing their observations with the review findings of conflict sensitivity methods in Nepal, the authors offer recommendations for the application of ‘do no harm’ principles to development work in fragile environments. Ensuring the creation and systematic use of an adequate knowledge base is the critical first step to preventing the lessons that should be learnt from the Kyrgyz experience from being lost.
