A Proposed Strategy for Building Effective Partnerships in Knowledge Management in a Fair and Sustainable Way

This study aimed to present a proposed strategy for building effective partnerships in knowledge management, based on the principles of fairness and sustainability. This was achieved through an in-depth analysis of educational literature and relevant scientific research during the 2024/2025 academic year. The study focused on developing a practical and systematic vision to enhance the efficiency of leaders and decision-makers in educational and administrative institutions. This contributes to ensuring the continuity of institutional excellence and achieving comprehensive quality, in addition to enhancing knowledge production and its effective use in light of accelerating digital transformations. This study distinguished itself from others by its adoption of an analytical approach, which enabled a precise scientific extrapolation of previous studies with the aim of understanding the various contexts that affect knowledge management, both in terms of challenges and opportunities. This then led to the design of a long-term strategic framework based on the activation of multilateral partnerships. The proposed strategy is based on six basic principles: justice and fairness in the exchange of knowledge and benefits, transparency and accountability in operations, mutual benefit between partners, sustainability of resources and outputs, mutual respect for experiences and cultures, and finally, a focus on the added value achieved by partnerships at the institutional and societal levels. Based on an analysis of the literature and the results of previous research, the study recommends the need to design clear governance models that regulate the partnership process, ensure fair distribution of knowledge, and provide effective mechanisms for resolving conflicts and managing differences, with flexibility in adapting to new developments. The proposed governance elements include signing a partnership charter, defining roles and responsibilities, and activating monitoring, evaluation, and accountability mechanisms. Thus, the study contributes to establishing a scientific and practical foundation for building fair and sustainable knowledge partnerships that keep pace with contemporary developments and serve the goals of sustainable development.
