French term or phrase: bonne appropriation

Right now I'm using involvement, but I'm not happy with it. Here's the context:

Dans un contexte où une seule organisation ne peut plus faire face seule à la complexité des problèmes d’emploi et de formation, le partenariat permet la mise en synergie des acteurs et la mutualisation des compétences, des savoir-faire et des moyens. Source majeure d’innovation, le partenariat permet aux décideurs et aux acteurs nationaux et régionaux de travailler en réseau, de faire des économies d’échelle et de stimuler les apprentissages mutuels. Enfin, il est un facteur décisif de diffusion des bonnes pratiques et d’une **bonne appropriation** par l’ensemble des acteurs.

are adopted by the actors overall without resistance

Explanation:
Hello,

bonne appropriation = to take as one's own without resistance (no need to say "as one's own" in English)

Here, it means that these actors will adopt these good practices as their very own.

This is my translation of the last sentence.

This is a deciding factor in ensuring that these good practices are well-publicized and adopted by the actors as a whole without resistance.

I hope this helps.
