English to German translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - International Org/Dev/Coop
English term or phrase: outreach programme
"Both the Guidelines for international cooperation ... and the Convention’s Outreach Programme promote site twinning as a mechanism for accelerating the flow of knowledge and assistance and promoting training opportunities"
Any ideas on how to translate outreach programme? Thanks for your help in advance.

Entwicklungsprogramm
Explanation:
All of the answers so far leave me unsatisfied. The "Outreach Programme" is just a fabcy word for "Development Program", i.e. reaching out to others to help them develop.

Let's go back to the bqasics in the translations. Using the English term might be chicque but it won't explain very much and might leave some readers guessing.

"outreach" is often translated to "Beratung". However in this context I would use the term "Information".
