In a recent episode of the Kabod Group podcast (KMPA 3), Professor Madeleine Fombad, a renowned figure in Knowledge Management (KM) at the University of South Africa, engages in a compelling conversation with Christian Elongue, Managing Director of Kabod Group. They delve into the pivotal role of KM in Africa and the pressing need to bolster its presence across the continent. 

The discussion centers on unraveling why KM hasn't been widely embraced as an academic discipline in Africa and the efforts to integrate it into academic curricula. Professor Fombad sheds light on the intersection of KM and climate change challenges, advocating for its potential to drive behavioural shifts and policy formulation.

Exploring collaborative opportunities between academia and policymakers, they underscore the importance of proactive community engagement and a dynamic curriculum aligned with industry demands. Despite challenges, they propose a comprehensive action plan to garner stakeholder support and elevate awareness about KM's strategic significance.
