Government / Politics | | English term or phrase: insufficient information appears to be available to lift... to... | Hello everyone,
Without better sources of information, it is difficult to see how the XXXX teams could deliver the higher level of interdiction expected and whilst this was not articulated, it is assumed the principle behind the project concept was that there was either ample information waiting to be acted upon or once the threat of corruption was removed, there would be no shortage of information from which the XXXX teams could benefit. Whether this is a correct deduction of the thinking at the time of the project concept, the reality has been that insufficient information appears to be available to lift the XXXX teams to a new level of performance. Since the YYYY is currently rebuilding the XXXX teams as envisaged in the project document, this will be an issue to be addressed.
Do I understand correctly that "insufficient information appears to be available to lift" mean "it seems that insufficient information lifts/increases the performance of XXXX teams?
Thank you. |

| | English translation:It means what it says | Explanation:
This 'English' text seems not to be native, but it's clear enough to me, as a native UK English-speaker.
An example of 'non-nativeness' can be found here:
"Whether this is a correct deduction of the thinking at the time of the project concept, ..."
where a native would probably write 'from'.
With that in mind,
"... the reality has been that insufficient information appears to be available to lift the XXXX teams to a new level of performance."
means -->
"experience shows that there is not enough information available to the XXXX teams, to enable them (the XXXX teams) to achieve better/greater performance."
IOW (and as I would have written it myself, had I had the opportunity and/or the desire): "... the XXX teams have been starved of information and have consequently failed to achieve their true potential." |
