Genesis • Self appointed , composition, changes (Ramana, BG; Convener) • Decision-making around • Network architecture • Program Design – CPs – integrated, scaled, embedded • Proposal vetting and fund allocation • Communications, Research • Oversight • Fund-raising – MKSP, IDRC • Network coordination – quarterly meetings, reviews

  3. Issues • Non-responsiveness, long delays, start-stop • Despite having access to significant finances, sense of relatively slow progress (which makes the point that finances are not everything!!) • Slow progress? limited visibility? failure to raise additional funds • Articulated need to • streamline and accelerate decision-making, • monitoring to track outcomes, and • setting up accountability mechanisms • Internal recognition of inadequacies within the CG, simply unable to devote the requisite time. Perhaps because much of this has been done on the side.

  4. An attempt to re-boot… • OD exercise in Hyderabad • Principal conclusion: disband CG • separate governance from management; • GB, SLG, dedicated executives • Perceived move from network to organizational mode of functioning • Attempt to hire a Director of operations • Current effort to set up a National Support Cell (NSC) • CEO (research, fund raising, HR) • Communications • MIS • Fund management • Expectation of separation between GB, SLG, NSC – enhanced effectiveness, greater accountability

  5. Financial matters
