Dear HIFA Colleagues,
Significant reductions in foreign aid have impacted programs, partnerships, and progress. In this environment, managing knowledge effectively has never been more critical.
As we adapt to a new funding reality, Knowledge Management (KM) can help global health professionals sustain impact, optimize learning, and strengthen local ownership.
