About KNET

The Kenya Knowledge Network (KNET) is a knowledge management network established in 2006 to promote research, policy, development, and networking, making it the first of its kind in Eastern Africa. The network is supported by the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) and is currently hosted by the Institute of Policy Analysis and Research (IPAR) located in Nairobi (www.ipar.or.ke), on behalf of KNET Steering Committee members, namely: the Institute of Policy Analysis and Research (IPAR), Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (KIPPRA), Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA), Kenyan Economic Association (KEA), Association of Professional Societies in East Africa (APSEA), Association of Local Government Authorities of Kenya (ALGAK) and Kenya’s Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology (MoHEST).

The aim of the network is to facilitate sharing of knowledge, expertise, resource materials, best practices, lessons and experiences. It is also intended to facilitate effective engagement by stakeholders in advocacy for national and regional development agendas. The network contains a database for inventory of a wide range of content including expertise and skills; institutions and development agencies; location and abridged information from research and policy analysis work in Kenya and the region; online debate forum; training materials and other online resources; search facilities; among others. The network also provides a platform for disseminating research findings and review of their policy relevance, and broadening accessibility to a worldwide audience.

Researchers, policy analysts, academics, practitioners and policy makers in government, private sector, civil society and other interested parties will find this network valuable.
