"Open Knowledge Network"
Open Knowledge Network (OKN) as the name suggests is an open platform to share knowledge that improves or add value to people’s lives. An effort towards creation and exchange of local content in local languages, supported by a range of information and communication technologies.
It helps to bring communities closer to researchers, agricultural scientists, health professionals, government authorities and markets. OKN provides an opportunity for Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to network with grassroots knowledge workers and allow innovative bottom-up content sharing approaches.
