Knowledge Management in Government and Public Policy: Enhancing Decision-Making and Public Service Delivery Training Course

Introduction

Effective knowledge management (KM) in government and public policy is essential for improving decision-making, transparency, and service delivery. Public sector organizations generate vast amounts of data, reports, and institutional knowledge that, if captured and utilized efficiently, can enhance policy formulation, program implementation, and citizen engagement. Integrating KM practices ensures that critical insights, lessons learned, and best practices are systematically shared across departments and agencies, fostering innovation, accountability, and responsiveness.

This training course equips public sector professionals and policy makers with the knowledge and tools to implement KM strategies that enhance governance and public policy outcomes. Participants will explore frameworks, methodologies, and digital tools to capture, share, and apply knowledge in government operations. By the end of the program, learners will be able to develop and manage knowledge-driven processes that support informed policy-making, efficient service delivery, and continuous organizational improvement.
