Yes Mada that's true the reason being that social media is the in-thing nowadays especially for sharing and exchanging information and Knowledge, so KM plays an important role in the development of ICT in Africa.

Dear K M for dev Africa
in terms of knowledge management I have just returned from West Africa doing a post- project sustainability evaluation (rare! See www.ValuingVoices.com) and I found the knowledge management around retention of knowledge and access to knowledge for fiture analysis and learning weak. This is of both the past project data as well as how to retain knowledge of the post-project sustainability evaluation: where all it should be left, who should have access to it for future design, etc. It is frustrating as the evaluation showed remarkable success of some of the activities and we need to learn from those most successful as well as stop doing by all means those that communities did not sustain (three years after the project in this case) as well as learn how to foster participation of partners to take over the activities after doner funded implementers leave.

So I'm wondering if anyone on the on the site knows of great examples or has ideas for how knowledge should be retained about projects in their countries and how thry can best be accessed and how we can start to learn lessons from comparing evaluations ... And how well we embed participation with The focus on handing over sustainable projects anyway ! thank you very much
Jindra

Knowledge management plays a big role in the development of ICT in africa. This is so because the more you gain more knowldge, the more you are able to come up with diferent ways of solving problems that we encouter in africa; whether in agriculture, economics, science et.c. Hence there is need to acquire more knowledge through friends, in school or internet to accomplish this.

Doing a Computer Based program in school(University Of Botswana ) we are more interested in our course even though we are exposed to other courses like economics, management and mathematics, i have realized that KM is an important course and that most of us as tertiary students we need it as we are about to be part of the industry world, so my point is every student have to be taught about knowledge Management.

I agree with you Mr Jackson, in May I was on attachment for two months being my first time to experience the work environment,to my observation apart form an organisation being small or big, knowledge sharing is something that is not considered, only work issues, for example when there is a project initiative the will be meeting  about that project and not giving time to knowledge sharing which is imperative in an organisation. Again Knowledge sharing help build relationships among employees.

Thank you Dean for your critical observation. I think  something has to be done on affordability of Internet, Mobile phones to the poor countries in Africa if we are to catch up with the developed countries in the west. Otherwise  we will continue to experience  information and knowledge sharing gaps in Africa.

Social media is the key nowadays in everything, so I agree with what Mr Mulozi is saying because this is where majority of  people spend most of their time sharing and exchanging information, trainings are needed especially for those who don't know the significance of using social media, hence sharing of knowledge and resources will be made easier. The challenging part is the infrastructure as he stated,but i think with the equipment that is available a difference can be made.
