Knowledge is one of the most valuable assets to address global health challenges. Knowledge management (KM) is a systematic approach to generating, collecting, organizing, and synthesizing knowledge at all levels of the health system—from the global, regional, and national levels to the community level—so that the health workforce can find, share, and use critical information to improve their programs.
This KM Training Package for Global Health Programs aims to develop your skills, as well as strengthen your capacity in KM to build better global health programs. It is a self-paced training with resources, tools, templates and exercises that you will find practical to learn KM on your own and help you start using KM in your work!
The Training package includes two key components:
- Introduction to KM: Why, What, and How
- The Five-step Knowledge Management Road Map - a 5-step systematic process for finding, sharing and using knowledge strategically
