WHO developed this document and the accompanying toolkit to assist Member States in planning,preparing and conducting After Action Reviews (AARs) for collective learning and operational improvement after a public health response.The four components of the IHR MEF are explained in detail in this document. It is critical to review and assess any actions taken as part of a public health response, in order to capitalize on best practices, identify areas and actions for improvement, and promote individual and collective learning. The AAR provides a unique opportunity to review the functional capacity of public health and emergency response systems and to identify practical areas for continued improvement. AARs can be implemented as part of the preparedness and response cycle.
