Lucho's first 'why'

My first answer to the question is:

I believe that the sub-groups have not been dynamic enough for several reasons (some of them are still a mistery to me) but I could mention the ones I consider 'most probable':

- Lack of time of the members to participate
- Lack of clarity of purpose (are the groups email lists or a means to achieve something together?)
- Lack of concrete activities with clear responsibles, products, resources and schedules
- Lack of funding to have a paid person to mobilise the groups and monitor progress
- Lack of matching between discussed objectives of the groups and the needs of their members

(Perhaps, in order to move to the next 'whys', we can select only one amongst the ones that we identify as the most important).

Good suggestions Lucho. I think out of the issues you raised, funding has the least impact. The Livelihoods Network is facilitated by LC, which is part of the job description, yet for the past year, still little contribution from members.
