Hi.I am Jose Carmelo M. Gendrano (boji), research
officer and watsan eng'r atthe Philippine Center for
Water and Sanitation in Manila.
What do we mean by KM? To me KM is the sum of human
activities by which information is acquired, processed
and organized, and made available and actionable to
those who need it.
Other things I can think of at the moment.
Knowledge is power, whether used for good or bad.
Knowledge is a resource. It takes other resources to
produce it.
Knowledge is one of the few resources that is not
exhausted and in fact expands more with acquisition
and use.It is one phenomenon that defies entropy.
Knowledge sometimes get obsolete or moot.
Different forms of knowledge transmission are needed
depending on the learner's and teacher's capabilities.
People may resist knowledge and its spread if it
disturbs the present order of things.
