Knowledge Transfer

/ ˈnɒ.lɪdʒ;ˌtræns.fər / terminology /

RE: CAPACITY BUILDING, COOPERATION, DEVELOPMENT, EDUCATION

Knowledge transfer is the process of passing useful information, skills, or technology from one person, organisation, or country to another. In international development, it often means experts or trained professionals helping others learn how to do something, like using new farming tools, setting up health systems, or improving public services.

This can happen through training sessions, workshops, mentorship, or long-term partnerships. The goal is to share what works, so that local communities or governments can build their own solutions and become more self-reliant over time. Good knowledge transfer is practical, respectful, and focused on helping people apply what they’ve learned.
