Knowledge management is critical to the efficiencies of any organisation or network. Today however, within the plethora of technologies that permit sharing of information across email, social media platforms, WhatsApp and other platforms make the management of knowledge easier but leaves the assurance of retention is at high risk.

The AU-IBAR Ecosystem is an online platform that has been designed and developed to:

● Support knowledge sharing and build knowledge communities.

● Drive collaboration, co-creation and creativity across networks, groups, organisations, government agencies etc.

● Facilitate a central platform for sharing information.

● Enable cross-continental, cross-institutional as well as cross-functional networking.

● Support and enable robust knowledge communities.

Knowledge communities are groups of people who share common challenges, opportunities, or a passion for a given topic who then come together and collaborate to deepen their understanding of that topic through ongoing learning and knowledge sharing.
