English term or phrase: Ligth
Buen día estimados,

Esta vez me encuentro traduciendo un nuevo enfoque de una ONG con la que trabajo. A continuación les comparto un breve extracto:

Our operations come in three varieties that we call “[Operations name] Global,” “[Operations name] Light,” and “[Operations name] Deep.”

In developed countries and most developing countries, we are “[Operations name] Light,” with a very small, flexible team that works with partners including governments, the private sector, local civil society organisations and the children themselves for change for children’s well-being.

In place where global issues most deeply affect local communities, as “[Operations name] Deep,” we carry out direct programming, similar to the relief and development we used to do back in 2003 – service delivery and building local capacity, using a limited set of core activities that we have deep expertise in. “[Operations name] Global” acts as the hub that brings together knowledge from across the Partnership and carries out analysis and action on global issues, including policy analysis and campaigns, along with coordination and support for [Operations name] Light and [Operations name] Deep.

Quizas la consulta es hasta un poco trivial pero no creo que en este contexto aplique [Nombre de la operación] liviana/profunda???

De antemano agradezco su apoyo

Given the explanation of what "light" means here, this would seem a better option than "leve."
