Abstract: Abstract Knowledge is a key strategic resource for competitive advantage, and its management is essential for organizational success. This study explores knowledge management practices in the Oromia National Regional State (ONRS) in some public sectors, focusing on knowledge sustainability. Data from primary and secondary sources indicate that despite ONRS’s efforts, knowledge management remains underdeveloped, requiring improved systems for effective management and sharing. The study recommends implementing enterprise resource planning and highlights those younger, first and second-degree holders, are more active in knowledge management and sharing, pointing to the need for incentives to promote knowledge sharing across all staff levels.
