The DSWD’s concept of Knowledge Management (KM) is a process of creating an environment wherein people’s experience and wisdom on social protection and social welfare program delivery are valued and where internal processes are structured to support social welfare policymakers, program managers, and service providers in creating, sharing and using knowledge.
The creation of the Regional KM Team is one of the enabling technologies installed to facilitate the KM processes. The team will be the lead in the identification, documentation, screening and approval and sharing and dissemination of good practices and other knowledge products.
To execute its functions, the KM Team is required to meet and assess/deliberate in terms of technical aspects and content of the submitted good practice documentation in the region. Also, to come up with KM initiatives.
During the said meeting, the FO8 KM Team deliberated three potential good practices – “Knowledge Management Portal: Unlocking Wisdom” from the Capacity Building Section, “Advancing Synergy of DSWD FO-8 Pantawid and LGU Palapag Northern Samar for the Pantawid beneficiaries” of 4Ps Program, and “Social Welfare System” of LGU Dulag, Leyte last February 28, 2024.
Currently, the GPDs are being enhanced based on the recommendations from the committee prior to endorsement to the Bureau for final review.
