Knowledge sharing
''The current SMD efforts in Africa build on the existing stakeholders' efforts and focus on knowledge sharing to guide decision-making.'' In this sentence why the author wrote knowledge sharing but not sharing knowledge? The alteration does not sound grammatically wrong to me and does not make a difference in the meaning. Is it simply because it is used in this way or is there a rule I can apply to it?
