Abstract: This Community Note reviews, for the first time, the annual activities of KM4Dev, taking the year 2024. We start with the top ten KM4dev buzzwords in 2024. Next, we review KM4Dev’s known impact on sustainable development, focusing on the advocacy campaign to successfully influence the text of the UN’s Pact of the Future. Next, we provide an overview of KM4Dev’s core activities: interactive platforms, knowledge cafes, the Youth Leadership Forum, the KM4Dev-SIKM peer mentoring programme, and the Knowledge Management for Development Journal. In the next section, we provide an overview of the people who have played a formal role in the community as members of the core group and we also celebrate the awards and academic achievements of our members. Next, we highlight some important activities: the face-to-face meeting which took place in Cape Town, South Africa in January, the support to the development of the fourth, forthcoming edition of the ‘Agenda Knowledge for Development’, new development around the KM4Dev ‘Knowledge Sharing toolkit’, and some key events in the knowledge management and KM4Dev calendar. Finally, we outline plans to celebrate the 25th anniversary of KM4Dev in 2025in the ’25 years together’ campaign.
