The document discusses knowledge management as a discipline in international public health. It explores how knowledge is learned and shared through networks and relationships. It then outlines various platforms that support knowledge management, including print publications, websites, blogs, presentations, videos, discussions forums, and distance learning. These platforms help share research, evidence, and best practices with policymakers, researchers, and program managers. Finally, it concludes that knowledge management strategies are most effective when they bridge the gap between knowledge and practice, meet user needs, and reinforce messages through complementary communication channels.
