The purpose of the study was to propose actions aimed at knowledge management at community level to highlight the importance of information and knowledge in social transformations and appropriate decision taking. Systematization was performed of theoretical notions related to knowledge management in social development, thus determining the relevance of such a process in the community context, beyond the scope of organizations. Information management was likewise addressed as a process associated to knowledge management and the elements identifying said management in local work. A descriptive study was conducted which was based on document and content analysis, and took into account knowledge management models, proposals and experiences in local development, alongside studies considering information management as essential in development projects. A presentation is provided of the elements to be born in mind on implementing this type of management in the study context. Information and knowledge are strategic resources in problem solving and decision taking at community level. The elements pointed out may serve as a basis for the process of knowledge management aimed at achieving local transformations and obtaining local benefits.

Keywords : Knowledge management; information management; local development.
