AB  - INTRODUCTION: Lack of access to information and knowledge about mother and child 
      health was identified as a major contributor to poor maternal and child health in 
      Nigeria. The Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (PMNCH) has 
      recognized mapping the knowledge management of Maternal Newborn and Child Health 
      (MNCH) as one of the major strategies to be deployed in improving the health of 
      these vulnerable groups. The main aim of this study is to map the knowledge 
      management resources of Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (MNCH) in rural and 
      urban settings of Ilorin West LGA of Kwara state Nigeria. METHODS: It is a 
      descriptive cross-sectional study with a comparative analysis of findings from 
      urban and rural settings. Epi-mapping was used to carve out the LGA and map 
      responses. The p-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant at 95% 
      confidence level. RESULTS: The study showed that traditional leader was 
      responsible for more than half of the traditional way of obtaining information by 
      rural (66.7%) and urban (56.2%) respondents while documentation accounts for the 
      main MNCH knowledge preservation for the rural (40.6%) and the urban (50%) 
      dwellers. Traditional leaders (32.2%) and elders (46.7%) were the main people 
      responsible for dissemination of knowledge in rural areas whereas elders (35.9%) 
      and Parents (19.9%) were the main people responsible in urban areas. CONCLUSION: 
      It was concluded that traditional and family institutions are important in the 
      knowledge management of MNCH in both rural and urban settings of Nigeria.
