International Knowledge Management (IKM) has its origins in the realisation that there are many NGOs and CBOs that are not well resourced in spite of having deserving aims and objectives. Yet, by pooling their resources, knowledge and other strengths they can collectively overcome obstacles that may be too difficult to address in isolation.

IKM was created by an innovative and growing group of people who are eager to provide a networking mechanism and a platform on which NGOs, CBOs and other organisations and institutions can rely for addressing their needs without creating dependencies and bottlenecks.
