English translation:And for the greatest good
Explanation:
Thank you, Leen, for responding to our request for clarification. We prefer not to guess, so the more text or context you post with your question the better.

Translating a poorly written texts is one of the challenges we often face. In these situations, we must use our judgment by completing an incomplete thought or mending a broken syntax. In this case, we can safely assume that the writer meant to say something like
وتحقيقاً للمصلحة -- عبارة ناقصة
And for the greatest good
And for the highest good
And for the optimal good
And for the good of all
And for the common good
And for the public good

I am OK with all of these. I have listed them in the order of my preference, but please use your judgment.

to be in the public interest / for the benefit of common good


Explanation:
to be in the public interest: be in the national/public interest

Common good: In philosophy, economics, and political science, the common good (also commonwealth, common weal, general welfare, or public benefit) refers to either what is shared and beneficial for all or most members of a given community
