Effective knowledge management (KM) is critical for the success and sustainability of development assistance projects, particularly those focused on improving community well-being. This paper presents the design of a KM framework for a development assistance project, specifically focusing on the household-level food security program. The objective of the study is to develop a comprehensive KM framework that supports the capture, sharing, and utilization of knowledge to enhance project effectiveness, sustainability, and scalability. Drawing on insights from the literature on KM in development contexts, as well as empirical data collected from the key stakeholders involved in the program, the study identifies critical knowledge needs, barriers to knowledge sharing, and the role of technology in facilitating knowledge exchange. The proposed framework integrates key KM components, including dimensions of KM, elements of KM, other KM key concepts, existing knowledge and gaps on hunger and nutrition; and the need for a KM as a system. This study discusses the following: a. central learning agenda; b. program overall strategy and interventions; c. KM key elements; d. KM phases aligned with current program activities, and e. monitoring and evaluation in KM phases. This paper concludes that using a KM framework for its food security program is essential to ensure its improvement and sustainability. Finally, it offers recommendations for integrating the KM framework into the program to improve decision-making, enhance program impact, and foster a learning culture among stakeholders. This research contributes to the broader field of development assistance by providing a model for effective knowledge management
