SEAMEO INNOTECH Center Deputy Director Kochakorn Khattapan Acidre joined other participants from various SEAMEO Centers in the Second SEAMEO Knowledge Management (KM) Learning and Sharing Forum to develop and devise a knowledge management framework that can be operationalized by the organizations in the future.

The Second SEAMEO Knowledge Management (KM) Learning and Sharing Forum was held on 22 to 23 August 2023 in Los Banos, Laguna, Philippines. The event was hosted by SEAMEO Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) in collaboration with the SEAMEO Secretariat. The two-day event was done after an initial KM forum, which was virtually hosted by the SEAMEO Secretariat in July 2022.

The first KM Forum was done before then to provide a clearer understanding of the KM concept. The participants in this initial event were shown the difference between internal and external KM. SEAMEO Centers, as public sector organizations, focus on KM for their external stakeholders. There is a perceived need to ensure that the Centers effectively reach out to their primary and secondary clients, partners, and stakeholders in Southeast Asia and beyond.

The recommendations were fully realized through comprehensive brainstorming sessions during the Second SEAMEO KM Learning and Sharing Forum. The participants discussed the KM framework, information management, and other related topics. The attendees also explored the best practices and strengths in maintaining and optimizing the KM functions within SEAMEO and other units.

The Forum ended with a unanimous consensus from the participants to proceed with the next phase advancing the SEAMEO KM Framework. A comprehensive strategy and action will be created for the implementation across various SEAMEO Centers.
