Explanation:
Initially I liked James' answer quite a bit. It is eloquently written and makes perfect sense. Then I researched the term "acompañamiento" to see if I could find the meaning "support" or a close synonym.

  -> Thank you, Aoife - Mike :)
disagree  jtruzzi: i disagree, monitoring is more like supervising, and in the context the meaning of the word fits the mean for "supporting"/"joining together" more than "monitoring"/"auditing"
