Spanish term

fomentar el cuido

Spanish to English Other International Org/Dev/Coop Management report
Source text:

Objetivo:
Fomentar el cuido y la prevención de riesgos de niños y adolescentes ante desastres naturales y casos de violencia.

Sé que la consulta puede sonar hasta trivial pero no creo que en inglés se diga "Foster care for and prevention of "

En este caso, y en mi opinión el segundo "de" deberá traducirse como ... riesgos "que enfrentan los..."

Selected

To promote care and risk-prevention for

The hyphen in "risk-prevention" is important here in order to prevent a misreading of "risk" as a verb.

Best to avoid the combination "foster care" because it will sound like you are talking about "foster care." Also, using this translation prevents the kind of awkward construction that you suggest in your discussion comment.

I do not see either of the two previous suggestions as being accurate translations of the source.
Note from asker:
I also like Muriel's suggestion.
Peer comment(s):

agree Muriel Vasconcellos : As a staff translator for the World Health Organization for over 25 years, I'd say: 'to promote care and the avoidance of risks for'
