Humanitarian Innovation Fund After Action Review (AAR) Guidelines

The Humanitarian Innovation Fund (HIF) has
produced this short guide to help those working
with innovations to structure their learning and
reflection. AARs are a tool to structure some
straightforward questions that help individuals
and groups reflect and learn after undertaking
an activity. Originating in the 1970s, AARs have
been adapted for use in a number of fields due
to their simplicity and flexibility. Structured and
systematic learning are essential for successful
innovation, and AARs can form an important
part of this.
