To join the Learning and Knowledge Development Facility (LKDF), there are two types of memberships - Full Members and Associate Members. Full Members must have a Public-Private Development Partnership (PPDP) project, while Associate Members can remain for up to 3 years to contribute knowledge without a project. Knowledge Partners can also be Associate Members if connected to vocational training or contributing substantially. Final membership acceptance is subject to approval by the Project Steering Committee based on the applicant's PPDP fitting within LKDF boundaries, expertise and experience adding value, no conflicts of interest, and demonstrated contributions.
