Mobilising members has been difficult
Difficult to find people willing and committed enough to take the lead
Due to stigma and discrimination, some msm’s have decided not to join the group at this time
Our aim is to build the capacity of the members to undertake the role we are playing at the moment so we can move out – but it will take time
