Human capital and professional knowledge are key assets in organizations in general and third-sector organizations in particular. Knowledge is dynamic; it evolves and is constantly updated. Proper management of the processes of knowledge documentation and development is essential to the organization’s professional growth and the achievement of its goals. The forum of knowledge managers in authorities, organizations and government ministries that deal with people who have D.I.D. was established in order to train officials to facilitate intra-organizational, independent, and professional knowledge management processes while forming a community of professional knowledge development and sharing
The forum’s first meeting took place on January 7, 2016. In attendance were various officials entrusted with the management of all the organization’s information and knowledge, whether they are knowledge managers or are performing this task in addition to their role in the organization
