Issue 19(1) of Knowledge Management for Development Journal published
The 43rd issue of the Knowledge Management for Development Journal has just been published. Congratulations to all of the authors for their contributions, and many thanks to the peer reviewers and editorial team who have supported this process.
This issue represents the journal’s 20th year of publication. In this period, the journal has attempted to document the emerging field of knowledge management for development (KM4D), closely allied to the Knowledge Management for Development (KM4Dev) which has been running for 25 years in 2025.
The journal was designed to bring together practice, research, and policy in the field of KM4D, as well as creating space for more imaginative contributions, like stories and poems. This issue contains one scientific paper, one case study, two tools and methods contributions, and two policy briefs. Four contributions come from Knowledge Management for Agricultural Development (KM4AgD), a lighthouse project for knowledge-based development in Africa.
