Social Sciences - Other / mapeo de actores
Spanish term or phrase: a favor pero con reserva
Contexto: Informe del mapeo de actores efectuado para identificar a los principales actores sociales y políticos dentro de las redes sociales, económicas y políticas de la zona de estudio donde se va a realizar el proyecto de exploración y explotación de hidrocarburos.

"Posición: A favor pero con reserva. No se opone a la actividad hidrocarburífera porque considera que esta es necesaria para el desarrollo de la región y es parte de las posibles actividades a desarrollar dentro del Plan maestro para la zona de amortiguamiento."

I'm not sure if a literal translation works here.
Thank you for the suggestions.
