Spanish term or phrase: incapacitation
Word appears several times in Iberian Spanish text on change management and training for new IT systems in government (the text itself is a tender offer). What's confusing me is the use of the word incapacitacion, which should (I think) refer to skills acquisition, training, knowlege, etc, but the word itself has an apparently very different meaning. Example sentence is:

Mejorar la cantidad y calidad de la incapacitación permitiendo un mayor acceso a la incapacitación

"Disablement" simply won't do. No one wants to increase it! Could this be a strange typo?
Any suggestions very gratefully received

sick leave


Explanation:
Here in Mexico, at least, if you miss work, you have to get your "incapacitación" validated by a doctor in order to return to work.

Oops--- brain malfunction...incapacidad is what you get when you´re sick, so it´s "sick leave" and incapacidad is your doctors note type of deal! sorry for the confusion!


Example sentence(s):
  • Estoy enfermo, así que voy por mi incapacitacion con el IMSS. (social security hospital)
