Documentation plays a vital role in knowledge Management and dissemination as well as informing policy makers in decision making. Documenting and sharing information regarding new practices innovations, accomplishments, and the impact of our work on the people has been a challenge for many implementers. This has resulted in poor documentation and submission of field updates, stories and reports.
