Guidance for conducting AARs & RARs

A RAR is a rapid performance assessment of emergency response against CARE's HAF that takes place within the first few months of an emergency response. It generates findings and recommendation that are used to make immediate adjustments to the response. It is also a key source of information in drawing out lesson within an After Action Review workshop. It usually entails interviews with CARE management, staff, communities and other key external stakeholders, and is led by an independent team leader accompanied by the M&E or quality and accountability focal point from the Country Office.
