reforzar la apropiacíón

Spanish to English Social Sciences Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. Oportunidades Program in Mexico
Yes, finally! This is my last sentence in a very long document.

I have an idea, but I could be way off, so I'd like to hear what some of you have to suggest.

Finalmente, si se considera que los proveedores de los servicios del Programa son estatales, pareciera necesario **reforzar la apropiación** que éstos tienen, no sólo del Programa sino de la red de protección social, para mejorar principalmente la calidad de los servicios que ofrecen. En consecuencia, será necesario dejar de “competir” por la atención y aprender más a “compartir” la atención. Sólo entonces se logrará establecer una red de protección real y útil para las familias mexicanas.

empower participation/ encourage ownership

It seems that they are talking about state service providers (NGOs and local government dpts) being in competition with each other, whereas what the document seems to be promoting is more of a combined and collaborative approach, but it would be necessary to make each service provider feel more a part of the bigger picture. This would supposedly encourage "ownership" of the the distinct services
