The 2024 Asia Knowledge Management Champions kicked off this April with 34 participants selected from a pool of 50 applicants. Criteria for selection included family planning and reproductive health (FP\/RH) professionals in Asia who work in the area of knowledge management (KM). This year\u2019s cohort of participants hail from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Jordan, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines and Fiji.<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on the cohort\u2019s needs, sessions were developed to include capacity strengthening on KM fundamentals, documentation, as well as tools and techniques for effective knowledge sharing. A total of nine sessions, interspersed with networking opportunities and KM practice activities such as KM Cafe, Storytelling and After Action Reviews are underway between April and July. Designed to enhance their skills and build their professional networks as KM Champions, these sessions will also incorporate mentors from the previous KM Champions cohort to guide the new cohort through any KM challenges they encounter.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the cohort delves into new KM frameworks and tools, they have already demonstrated their skills in knowledge curation by publishing resource collections on diverse FP\/RH topics on the <\/span>FP insight<\/span><\/a> platform, showcasing the breadth and depth of their expertise and commitment to enhancing FP\/RH knowledge sharing. Notable examples include a collection on <\/span>access to vasectomy services<\/span><\/a> curated by Dr. Jonathan Flavier from the Cooperative Movement for Encouraging NSV, a compilation on <\/span>integrated care models for strengthening FP\/RH services<\/span><\/a> by Dr. Nomisha Khatri from PATH, as well as collections on <\/span>disability inclusive SRH services<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>subdermal contraceptive implants<\/span><\/a> by Dr. Saswati Das and Krishan Gopal Soni from UNFPA India.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the weeks progress, the cohort has been actively exploring novel ways to capture, use and share knowledge as leaders in FP\/RH. It is envisioned that this new KM Champions cohort builds a collaborative network of KM practitioners who learn and share with each other, and extend their services as future role models of KM in FP\/RH.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
