This academic article seeks to promote and encourage the use of open knowledge and wikis in development-promoting organizations in El Salvador to highlight best practices and findings in  the  learning  processes  of  social  development  projects.  To  this  end,  through  a  case  study,  Appropedia, considered the sustainability wiki, is presented as an alternative that is being used by national and international development organizations in the learning phase of their social projects.  Through  semi-structured  interviews  with  four  organizations  (two  national  and  two  international), information has been gathered describing the learning process followed by these organizations and how the wiki has served as an effective collaborative tool to disseminate the findings and best practices of their social projects for development. In this way, it is expected that the results will serve as an incentive for more development-promoting organizations in El Salvador to make use of these easily accessible technological tools, allowing for less exclusive learning  processes  and  open  knowledge  that  can  be  useful  for  other  development-promoting  organizations at the national and international levels.
