The document discusses the importance of knowledge sharing between organizations working in development. It tells the story of a health care worker in Zambia who struggled to fight malaria until he discovered information published by the CDC. This led Stephen Denning to create the World Bank's knowledge management system to ensure field workers have access to necessary information. The document advocates for NGOs to publish their knowledge and experiences so others can build upon it. It describes services from Ivory Pen to help NGOs professionally publish their work as books through editing, formatting, printing and more.

Kamana region is in the Northern part of Zambia. The nearest town larger than 50,000 inhabitants takes about 14:01 hour by local transportation. An estimated 3.38% of the children below 5 years old are underweight, with a mortality of 119 per 1,000 births.
Zambia is a high risk malaria region. In 1996, A health care worker who was working in Kamana region was struggling to fight malaria in the community and was trying to find information on how to combat the disease. For long he was not able to get any knowledge on how to fight malaria in region prone with poverty and lack of infrastructure and hygiene.
The worker after months of search finally discovered that the answers to his questions were published by Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta. Without CDC’s expertise in Malaria the worker could have never saved lives of many innocent people from malaria.
Stephen Denning, who was working for World Bank, came to know about this story. No field worker should be allowed to make trail and errors to discover knowledge. We should build a network where they can be assured to get the knowledge they require. He went on to develop World Bank’s Knowledge management system. World Bank’s knowledge is now being helpful to NGOs around the world. A Zambian water-treatment guru’s knowledge to handle local political negotiations is now helpful to a highway- construction guru in Bangladesh.
