Spanish term or phrase:a partir de su problemática social
En la punta de la lengua, pero se me escapa...
A nivel nacional, las organizaciones miembros (redes) *a partir de su problemática social*, participan en el análisis y hacen seguimiento a las políticas públicas según su tema de interés.
Explanation: I almost never put a 5 by one of my answers, but I feel very strongly here. "a problematic" is a "something that is problematic (adj.)," which has a very precise meaning: constituting or presenting a problem : difficult to solve or to come to a decision about or to deal with : ... so full of difficulty as to make only tentative and uncertain solutions or decisions possible
That is why the author chooses to use the term--these "problems" are not things that can be easily solved; they are intricate issues that must be resolved, but how to do that is not something that can be seen easily...
Thanks to all for your suggestions.
Patricia, you were right. It all depends on the register and a perhaps not so slight difference in meaning between issues/concerns/problems and problematics, which I now understand:
(RAE:) problemática 2. f. Conjunto de problemas pertenecientes a una ciencia o actividad determinadas.
Explanation: Health policy and the Ethical, Legal and Social Issues (ELSI) in genomics (defined by WHO, for instance)

Europeans Rank Environment Equal to Economic, Social Issues
BRUSSELS, Belgium, May 2, 2005 (ENS) - For Europeans, a healthy environment is as important to their quality of life as the state of the economy and social factors, a new Eurobarometer survey shows. The environmental issues that citizens worry most about are water pollution, air pollution, climate change, chemicals, and disasters caused by human activities such as oil spills and industrial accidents.
The survey is the first to examine attitudes towards the environment across the enlarged European Union with 25 member states. The survey was carried out between October 27 and November 29, 2004 on a sample of 1,000 citizens older than 15 in each member state.
Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas said, "This survey is proof that European citizens care greatly about their environment, and believe that it is intrinsically linked to their quality of life. The results give a clear mandate to the Commission to continue working to deliver a high level of environmental protection.
