The paper advocates for a contextualised knowledge management strategy tailored to specific poverty intervention projects and communities. It also suggests that a knowledge management strategy will result in permanent investment in knowledge and the human development of people.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>Given that this is a conceptual paper, the paper recommends empirical future studies that will implement this strategy within specific poverty-stricken communities in the country.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Practical\/implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>The paper raises awareness among policy and decision-makers of the importance of knowledge management as a tool for poverty eradication. In the knowledge economy, knowledge assets \u2013 other than the tangible assets of financial capital and local infrastructure \u2013 are the prime creator of wealth. It adds to the body of knowledge on knowledge management for poverty eradication by the World Bank and other international organisations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Social implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>A knowledge management strategy will create an environment in which human development is attained and the minds of the poor are transformed. It will enhance policy formulation and implementation, empower the poor and create a learning organisation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The paper presents a proposed strategy for knowledge management for poverty eradication in South Africa.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/jices-04-2017-0022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,27]],"date-time":"2018-04-27T08:48:43Z","timestamp":1524818923000},"page":"193-213","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Knowledge management for poverty eradication: a South African perspective"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Madeleine","family":"Fombad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"key2021041509291169000_ref001","first-page":"474","article-title":"Entrepreneurship training and self-employment intention of graduating student of tertiary institutions in ondo state","volume":"5","year":"2012","journal-title":"Journal of Educational Review"},{"article-title":"Strategies for rebuilding the Nigerian knowledge system","volume-title":"Research for Development","year":"2003","key":"key2021041509291169000_ref002"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2021041509291169000_ref003","first-page":"131","article-title":"Knowledge management and knowledge management systems: conceptual foundations and research issues","volume":"25","year":"2001","journal-title":"Management Information SystemsQuarterly"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2021041509291169000_ref004","first-page":"103","article-title":"A knowledge management framework for sustainable rural development: the case of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan","volume":"13","year":"2015","journal-title":"Electronic Journal of Knowledge Management"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2021041509291169000_ref005","first-page":"144","article-title":"Knowledge management and development of entrepreneurial skills among students in vocational technical institutions in Nigeria","volume":"12","year":"2014","journal-title":"Electronic Journal of Knowledge Management"},{"issue":"3","key":"key2021041509291169000_ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"129","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1099-1441(199909)6:3<129::AID-KPM64>3.0.CO;2-3","article-title":"Managing corporate knowledge: Comparative analysis of experiences in consulting firms, part 1","volume":"6","year":"1999","journal-title":"Knowledge and Process Management"},{"article-title":"Poor educational outcomes leave young people unprepared for the labour market","volume-title":"Sunday Times","year":"2016","key":"key2021041509291169000_ref007"},{"key":"key2021041509291169000_ref008","unstructured":"Beidelman, J. 2015, \u201cTransforming learning: knowledge management in education\u201d, 19 August, available at: http:\/\/blog.theeducationpartners.com\/knowledge-management-in-education (accessed 10 December 2016)."},{"issue":"1","key":"key2021041509291169000_ref009","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"28","DOI":"10.1108\/17410390510571475","article-title":"An exploratory study of groupware use in the knowledge management process","volume":"18","year":"2005","journal-title":"Journal of Enterprise Information Management"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2021041509291169000_ref010","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"13","DOI":"10.4102\/sajbm.v33i2.698","article-title":"Knowledge management practices in the South African business sector: Preliminary findings of a longitudinal study","volume":"33","year":"2002","journal-title":"South African Journal of Business Management"},{"key":"key2021041509291169000_ref011","unstructured":"Bradshaw, T.
