Objective - This study presents an overview of the development of the network for knowledge management, research, and innovation in malaria (malaria network). With a focus on the organizational factors that influenced its formation, the study aims to shed light on the broader factors that contribute to effective disease prevention and control efforts by examining the contextual elements that shaped the network. Materials and methods - The study employed a mixed-inductive approach, with a qualitative core and a quantitative complement. Intentional sampling was used in semistructured group interviews and focal discussion groups during cocreation workshops. Data were collected through surveys and literature review. Results - The study found that knowledge of and experience in organizational strategy for knowledge networks is limited, highlighting significant academic gaps in this area. The malaria network addresses this challenge by prioritizing innovation and quality control as key variables in its processes, enabling the network to store, disseminate, share and convert data into useful knowledge for its members and decision-makers. Conclusions - To ensure the sustainability of the Malaria Network, this study identifies the need to generate evidence on organizational strategies for knowledge networks. Furthermore, it discusses the importance of maintaining support for the process through various government, academic, and social entities.
