Purpose:

  • Toolkit was created to provide practical knowledge management (KM) resources and tools for those working in international public health and development

Content:

  • This toolkit provides practical resources for KM solutions that either come from the field of international public health and development or are applicable to the field and can be adapted.
  • The toolkit is structured to answer some basic questions, such as: What is KM? Why is it important? How do you do KM? How do you measure it? And, where do you go for more resources?
  • It also includes a specific toolkit of KM for public health - a systematic approach to ensure that public health practitioners have access to the latest research and that they apply that research to public health programs at all levels of the health system:  http://www.k4health.org/topics/knowledge-management-public-health
