Spanish to English Other International Org/Dev/Coop Project report
Buen día colegas,

Continuo trabajando con el documento sobre agua y saneamiento y tengo otra consulta relacionada con el tema.

Resultados del análisis FODA

Debilidades:
Los promotores de créditos y técnicos en agua y saneamiento coinciden alrededor de un enfoque mayoritario de la campaña en los componentes de sensibilización y educación en temas de agua y saneamiento a la población, pero carece de un enfoque de promoción basado en mercadotecnia, que promoviera el precio, los beneficios de las soluciones y el punto de venta (de las tecnologías).

Sigo teniendo la impresión que el autor del documento trató de utilizar un lenguaje demasiado rebuscado que hay partes que tienden a confundir más que a aclarar.

My try:

Credit promoters and water and sanitation technicians agree that a large part of the campaign, [specifically] the awareness-raising and education ...

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Much, much better than mine. Thanks Taña for supporting my view of the text drafting.
Taña Dalglish Oct 25, 2018:
Lydia (2) Perhaps other colleagues too, while not necessarily a part of your question, may have other ideas to tweak your text, but you are right that the language appears to be "demasiado rebuscado".
Taña Dalglish Oct 25, 2018:
@ Lydia Lydia - perhaps? (you have not included "the points of sale (of the technologies)" in your proposal.

Weaknesses:
Credit promoters and water and sanitation technicians agree on a major focus of the campaign, specifically, awareness raising and education components relating to water, sanitation & hygiene services (WASH) to the population, but lacks a promotional approach to marketing that would (* perhaps "stimulate"? I can't decide, hence I included a list of synonyms) price, the benefits of the solutions, as well as the point of sale (of the technologies).

* promote verb
1. support or actively encourage (a cause, venture, etc.); further the progress of.
Sinónimos: encourage, further, advance, assist, aid, help, contribute to, foster, nurture, develop, boost, stimulate, forward; advocate, recommend, urge, support, back, endorse, champion, speak for, proselytize, sponsor, espouse, push for, work for
Lydianette Soza (asker) Oct 25, 2018:
