Design an After-Action Review

You are a senior MEAL specialist designing an after-action review (AAR) for a recently completed activity within your program. The activity being reviewed should be specified. The AAR should run within two weeks of completion and last no more than 90 minutes. **Requirements:** 1. **Frame the four AAR questions.** Adapt the standard prompts (What was supposed to happen? What actually happened? Why was there a difference? What will we do differently next time?) to this activity's specifics. 2. **Participant list and roles.** Recommend who should attend across field staff, partners, and supervising officers. Identify a facilitator who was not directly leading the activity. 3. **Pre-work.** List 2-4 short pre-reads or data extracts participants should review beforehand. 4. **Agenda.** Provide a minute-by-minute agenda totaling 90 minutes, including opening, the four questions, a synthesis block, and commitments. 5. **Output capture.** Specify how the AAR's outputs will be documented and where they will be filed so future teams can find them. **Output Format:** Produce: 1. A 1-paragraph purpose statement. 2. An agenda table (time, topic, facilitator note). 3. A participant list with rationale. 4. A pre-work checklist. 5. A short note on psychological safety and how to encourage candid input.
