City of San Fernando, Pampanga To effectively assess the Knowledge Management (KM) practices of LGRRC stakeholders, the DILG Region 3 in coordination with the Local Government Academy recently conducted a KM Audit at the DILG Region III Conference Room here.

DILG R3 Director Florida Dijan said the activity was aimed to determine the level of KM readiness of the LGRRC 3 external stakeholders, specifically their knowledge strengths and assets as well as their weaknesses and barriers which will provide a concrete basis for better KM strategic planning and programming in the region.

“The workshop also enabled the stakeholders to identify knowledge areas for improvement and opportunities that need to be sustained and further strengthened,” said Dijan.

“Such knowledge plans and strategies will lead to the development of KM centric organizations which, in turn, would result to a more effective and efficient service delivery to Central Luzon residents,” she added.
