'Para asegurar el cumplimiento de las metas del proyecto se hará una coordinación efectiva con las unidades de salud de las comunidades y subsedes.'
'...11 comunidades de más alta prevalencia de malaria ubicada en 4 sub sedes.'
'Sub sedes de atención para comisiones municipales' - this is a heading in a table.
Nicaraguan Spanish to UK English. This is a recurring term in an application form to request funding. It seems to refer to a level of administration within the country, but I can't quite work out what level (although I think it is rather local) or how I would best render it in English. I know that Nicaragua is divided into departments and regions and that these are sub-divided into municipalities. The text also refers to 'comunidades' and 'territorios indígenas'. Are there any Nicaraguans out there who might be able to explain exactly what a 'sub sede' is?
Thank you!

Gracias, Rafael! No había pensado en esto pero ya que lo dices, me parece muy probable. A ver si alguien tiene otra idea, pero me gusta 'sub centre'. Muchas gracias! |

Thanks, Michael! I think 'subsidiary' will work in some instances, so I'll probably use a combination of the two answers! Thanks again. |
